| 20080236069 | Lightweight concrete panel - A lightweight cast concrete panel including concrete having a wet weight of between about 132 to about 140 pounds per cubic foot, and air content of between about 7 to about 11 percent. | 10-02-2008 |
| 20090158678 | Injection-securable anchor and anchor tube for the injection-securable anchor - An anchor tube for an injection-securable anchor includes a through-opening ( | 06-25-2009 |
| 20110146170 | LIGHT-WEIGHT LOAD-BEARING STRUCTURES REINFORCED BY CORE ELEMENTS MADE OF SEGMENTS AND A METHOD OF CASTING SUCH STRUCTURES - The invention relates to a light-weight load-bearing structure, reinforced by core elements ( | 06-23-2011 |
| 20120066988 | REINFORCEMENT ELEMENT FOR STRUCTURAL CONCRETE CONSTRUCTION - A reinforcing element ( | 03-22-2012 |
| 20130081343 | TECHNIQUES FOR BUILDING CONSTRUCTION USING FABRICATED TIMBERS - Techniques for building construction using fabricated timbers. In one example, such timbers are fabricated using conventional 2× (two-by) lumber to produce a square log appearance. These fabricated timbers are stacked to form outside and/or inside walls. The fabricated timbers and walls are configured to sustain desired vertical and lateral loads anticipated of a building such as a cabin, home, garage, barn, office building, or the like. A building constructed using such timbers appears to be built of square logs. Fabricated timber construction, as compared to conventional log or stick-frame construction, provides the appearance of high-quality log construction at a far lower cost, with higher R-values and appraised values, and is also far lower in cost and much simpler than conventional stick-frame construction. | 04-04-2013 |
| 20130340366 | Ratcheting Take-Up Device - A ratcheting take-up device that compensates for imperfect alignment in a tie rod continuity system in the frame of a building wall. The upper ends of the tie rods are tightly clamped within the take-up device by domed segments inserted in a bowl-shaped housing. The segments are also forced together by a compression member in the housing. The domed shape of the segments and the bowl shape of the housing cooperate so that the segments can rotate in any direction to accommodate tie rods that are not perfectly vertical, without a corresponding loss of strength in the connection. | 12-26-2013 |
| 20140083031 | VOID FORMER AND METHOD OF REINFORCING - A void former for forming a void in a concrete element is described. The void is adapted to receive at least one pliant reinforcing member. The void former is shaped or configured so that the void formed by said void former comprises an aperture in a surface of the concrete element for a said pliant reinforcing member to at least enter the void, and an internal surface shaped to direct the pliant reinforcing member through the void and back towards the surface of the concrete element to exit the void at the surface of the concrete element at a distance away from a portion of the pliant reinforcing member entering the void. A concrete element comprising a void, and a structure or building comprising a concrete element, and a method of reinforcing a concrete element or a building or structure is also described. | 03-27-2014 |
| 20140237920 | TRUSS SYSTEM - A truss system for roofing a building; a truss of said truss system including at least one truss segment; each said truss segment comprising a first elongate element and a second elongate element; said first and second elongate elements interconnected at intervals by a series of fish-plate assemblies; said fish-plate assemblies arranged in sliding engagement with respective extruded fish-plate channels of said first and second elongate elements. | 08-28-2014 |
| 20140290161 | CORE COMPONENT AND TOWER ASSEMBLY FOR A TOWER STRUCTURE - A core component for a base of a tower assembly includes a body of the core component and a flange. The body has an arcuate outer sidewall and an arcuate inner sidewall. The body includes a hole extending from the outer sidewall to a bottom of the body. The flange extends from the arcuate inner sidewall of the body. The flange includes at least one bore hole configured to receive a post-tensioning tendon. | 10-02-2014 |
| 20140318057 | STRUCTURE REPAIR WITH POLYMER MATRIX COMPOSITES - An assembly is provided including a structural component having a flange-like member. A partially cured polymer matrix composite patch is wrapped around a perimeter of the flange-like member. The patch includes a plurality of layers, each layer having a plurality of fibers arranged therein. The layers of the polymer matrix composite patch are cured after being wrapped around the flange-like member of the structural component. | 10-30-2014 |
| 20140331580 | POST-TENSIONING CONCRETE PIPE WRAP - A post-tensioning wrap includes a housing having at least one cavity and at least one tendon bonded to the housing. The wrap can be wrapped around the concrete article to equalize compression. Thereafter, a medium is injected into the cavity causing the housing to swell and compression of the concrete article by the tendon. | 11-13-2014 |
| 20140331581 | THERMAL BREAK FOR CONCRETE SLAB EDGES AND BALCONIES - A relatively thin flat panel of thermal insulating material is provided with an array of holes or apertures, each coaxially aligned or coextensive with a reinforcement bar emanating from a concrete slab forming an interior floor within a structure consistent with the design of a structural engineer of record. Rebar couplers (nipples) are arranged within each of the holes or apertures of the insulating panel having axial lengths greater than the thickness of the panel to extend beyond the panel on both sides thereof. The couplers are threaded both internally and externally. Nuts or threaded washers are threaded and tightened on both sides of each coupler to secure the coupler in place in relation to the panel. Alternatively, fiberglass rebars can be used extending through the insulating panel. | 11-13-2014 |
| 20160053492 | METHOD FOR BUILDING PRESTRESSED CONCRETE STRUCTURES BY MEANS OF PROFILES CONSISTING OF A SHAPE-MEMORY ALLOY, AND STRUCTURE PRODUCED USING SAID METHOD - The invention relates to a method according to which a profile consisting of a shape-memory alloy is placed into concrete, or a concrete to be reinforced is roughened on the outside, then profiles ( | 02-25-2016 |
