A fabricated composite load bearing panel serving as a building wall or the like comprising a plurality of modular elongated integral slabs of rigid foam insulating plastic material rectangular in section and each slab having two pairs of opposed surfaces, one pair of opposed surfaces having opposed substantially parallel recesses disposed centrally of said surfaces and extending from end to end thereof, splines of rigid foam heat insulating plastic material substantially filling said recesses and maintaining adjacent ones of said slabs in assembled relation with surfaces of adjacent slabs being disposed in full surface contact, certain of said slabs having an additional pair of laterally opposed substantially parallel recesses in the other pair of said surfaces, said additional recesses extending from end to end of said slabs, hollow tubular metal framing members securely surface bonded by adhesive means to said slabs and substantially occupying said additional recesses, said foam plastic material providing a thermal barrier between opposed framing members, and at least the outer surfaces of said framing members being flat and forming substantial continuations of said surfaces of said slabs.
