052291000 | ADJUSTABLE STRESSING MEANS; E.G., WARP CORRECTION | 8 |
20090071085 | Wall Reinforcement System And Method - A reinforcement system for a wall includes a bracket secured to a support disposed above the wall with a plurality of fasteners. A strap is engaged with the bracket and is adhered to the wall for reinforcing the wall. | 03-19-2009 |
20090071086 | Unreinforced shrinkage compensating concrete floor slab - A shrinkage-compensated concrete slab is formed with no reinforcing structural bars therein, but with plates around its periphery so as to restrain expansive and shrinkage forces. The plates can be made of steel and welded together at their ends, and can include studs extending inwardly from inner surfaces thereof for attachment to the slab. | 03-19-2009 |
20090188189 | Stabilizing Systems For Deck Pedestals - A stabilizing system for a deck system has a plurality of pedestals, a plurality of connection locations on a periphery of the pedestals and at least one stabilizing member secured g between the pedestals. Each of the pedestals supports corner portions of adjacent blocks, pavers or panels a spaced distance above an underlying structure extending generally parallel to the blocks, pavers or panels. The plurality of connection locations on a periphery of the pedestals are located both proximate the supported corner portions and proximate the underlying structure. At least one stabilizing member in the form of a stabilizing bar, elongate wires, wire rope, cable or rods is secured to and extends between the connection locations of at least two of the pedestals. | 07-30-2009 |
20090193736 | System and Device for Stiffening a Door - Presented herein is a system for stiffening and strengthening a door, said system comprising a plurality of stoppers each having a channel, wherein said stoppers are affixed to the door; and at least one stiffening rod seated within the channels of said stoppers; and means for shortening the span of said stiffening rod disposed between said stoppers; whereby shortening the span results in straightening the door. | 08-06-2009 |
20100095616 | CONCRETE MATERIAL, CONSTRUCTION ELEMENT FOR A THERMAL INSULATION, AND BRICK-SHAPED THERMALLY INSULATING ELEMENT, EACH USING THE CONCRETE MATERIAL - A concrete material, particularly for concrete compression elements transmitting compressive forces, to be used in a structural element as the thermal insulation in structural engineering, made of a high-strength concrete in the strength class C55 or higher, with the concrete being embodied as a thermally insulating, load-bearing material including titanium minerals as additives. Additionally, a structural element for thermal insulation and a brick-shaped thermally insulating element, each using said concrete material, are provided. | 04-22-2010 |
20100275540 | Corrugated Shearwall - A prefabricated shearwall including a central diaphragm having a height generally defined by top and bottom edges, and a width generally defined by a pair of end sections. The diaphragm further includes at least one corrugation extending in the height direction at least partially between the top and bottom edges. The corrugation increases the ductility and ability of the shearwall to withstand lateral forces such as those generated in earthquakes, high winds, floods and snow loads. | 11-04-2010 |
20120186176 | COMPRESSIVE FORCE TRANSMITTING CONNECTION ELEMENT - A force transmitting connection element having an insulation body limited by two oppositely located support surfaces which are at a distance corresponding to a height H of the force transmitting connection. A first support surface faces a first cast structural component part and has a length L | 07-26-2012 |
20150292259 | TRUSS ANCHOR AND TRUSS ASSEMBLY USED FOR REINFORCING GATE - A truss anchor and a truss assembly used with a gate for reinforcing the gate are provided. The truss anchor has a flange defining a first opening, a base opposite to the flange for defining a second opening and a continuous wall extending between the flange and the base. The continuous wall and the base collectively define an open space which is accessible through the first opening. The truss assembly has two of the truss anchors and a rod extending between the truss anchors. The rod has two opposite ends, each end being insertable into the open space of the truss anchor through the second opening. A locking member is used for locking each end and a respective truss anchor. Upon locking the end of the rod and the truss anchor, the flange of the truss anchor abuts against an external surface of the gate and the rod is preloaded with tension, | 10-15-2015 |
