1. A pre-fabricated composite structure for a building, the pre-fabricated composite structure consisting essentially of:
at least one pre-fabricated, structural cementitious panel having opposing sides and a length and a width, said at least one pre-fabricated, structural cementitious panel further having no reinforcing members; and
a single integral metal corrugated panel having a plurality of protruding members and grooves, wherein the grooves are between the protruding members and the protruding members and the grooves each have upper surfaces that are spaced from each other, the single integral metal corrugated panel having a length and a width that is the same as the length and the width of said at least one pre-fabricated, structural cementitious panel, one of said sides of said at least one pre-fabricated structural cementitious panel being secured directly to the upper surfaces of some of said protruding members of said at least one single integral metal corrugated panel, wherein the at least one pre-fabricated, structural cementitious panel is spaced from the upper surfaces of said grooves,
wherein said at least one pre-fabricated, structural cementitious panel and said single integral metal corrugated panel are offset relative to each other so that a portion of said at least one pre-fabricated, structural panel extends outwardly from an end of said single integral metal corrugated panel.
2. The composite structure of claim 1 , wherein said at least one pre-fabricated, structural cementitious panel is a magnesium oxide-based cementitious panel.
3. The composite structure of claim 1 , wherein said single integral metal corrugated panel is a steel corrugated panel.
4. The composite structure of claim 1 , wherein a width of each of said protruding members is greater than a width of each of said grooves.
5. The composite structure of claim 1 , wherein a width of each of said grooves is greater than a width of each of said protruding members.
6. The composite structure of claim 1 , wherein each of said protruding members has angled opposing sidewalls and a top wall extending between said sidewalls.
7. The composite structure of claim 1 , wherein each of said protruding members has parallel opposing sidewalls and a top wall extending between said sidewalls.
8. The composite structure of claim 1 , wherein said protruding members and said grooves each have a curved shape.
9. The composite structure of claim 1 , further comprising an insulating material secured to a surface of said at least one pre-fabricated, structural cementitious panel.
10. The composite structure of claim 9 , further comprising one of a glass-mat roof board or a water-resistant membrane secured to said insulating material.
11. The composite structure of claim 1 , further comprising one of a glass-mat roof board or a water-resistant membrane secured to said at least one pre-fabricated, structural cementitious panel.
12. A floor structure for a building, the floor structure comprising:
a plurality of supports that are spaced apart so that the distance between the centers of the plurality of supports is greater than twenty-four inches on center; and
at least one pre-fabricated composite structure secured to said plurality of supports, said composite structure including at least one pre-fabricated, structural cementitious panel having opposing sides and a length and a width, said at least one pre-fabricated, structural cementitious panel further having no reinforcing members; and
at least one single integral corrugated steel sheet including a plurality of protruding members and grooves formed between said protruding members, said protruding members and said grooves each having upper surfaces that are spaced from each other,
wherein one of said sides of said at least one pre-fabricated, structural cementitious panel is attached directly to some of the upper surfaces of said single integral corrugated steel sheet by a plurality of fasteners, said at least one single integral corrugated steel sheet having a length and a width that is the same as the length and the width of said at least one pre-fabricated, structural cementitious panel, wherein the at least one pre-fabricated, structural cementitious panel is spaced from the upper surfaces of said grooves, and
wherein said at least one pre-fabricated, structural cementitious panel and said single integral corrugated steel sheet are offset relative to each other so that a portion of said at least one pre-fabricated, structural panel extends outwardly from an end of said single integral corrugated steel sheet.
13. A roof structure for a building, the roof structure comprising:
a plurality of supports that are spaced apart so that the distance between the centers of the plurality of supports is greater than forty-eight inches; and
at least one pre-fabricated composite structure secured to said plurality of supports, said composite structure including at least one pre-fabricated, structural cementitious panel having opposing sides and a length and a width, said at least one pre-fabricated, structural cementitious panel further having no reinforcing members; and
at least one single integral corrugated steel sheet including a plurality of protruding members and grooves formed between said protruding members, said protruding members and said grooves each having upper surfaces that are spaced from each other,
wherein one of said sides of said at least one pre-fabricated, structural cementitious panel being attached directly to some of the upper surfaces of said single integral corrugated steel sheet by a plurality of fasteners, said single corrugated steel sheet having a length and a width that are the same as the length and the width of said at least one pre-fabricated, structural cementitious panel, wherein the at least one pre-fabricated, structural cementitious panel is spaced from the upper surfaces of said grooves, and
wherein said at least one pre-fabricated, structural cementitious panel and said at least one single integral corrugated steel sheet are offset relative to each other so that a portion of said at least one pre-fabricated, structural panel extends outwardly from an end of said at least one single integral corrugated steel sheet.
