A system for mounting an anchor bolt to formwork or other structures associated with concrete construction includes a main body and latch coupled to the main body. The anchor bolt can pass through the main body and the latch can be moved so that threads formed in the latch engage threads formed in the anchor bolt to secure the anchor bolt in position as concrete is poured around the anchor bolt. The main body and the latch can have through holes for receiving a nail to lock the position of the latch with respect to the main body.

To provide a CLT structure in which an anchor member does not interfere with a reinforcement member. A CLT structure includes a strip footing having a reinforcing bar extending in a longitudinal direction, a wall panel which is a panel material obtained by laminating and bonding sawn boards and in which a slit extending along the longitudinal direction is formed in a lower end surface, joint plates each partly embedded in the strip footing and having a joint board section of a flat plate shape at least partly projecting upward from an upper surface of the strip footing, and drift pins connecting the joint board sections and the wall panel in an inserted state where the joint board sections projecting from the upper surface of the strip footing are inserted into the slit of the wall panel. The joint plate has the joint board section, a flange section embedded in the strip footing and extending in a direction crossing the perpendicular direction from the joint board section, and an anchor bolt embedded in the strip footing and extending downward from the flange section.

A foundation connector is formed with a foundation attachment section and a frame attachment section connected by a transition section at the central area of the foundation connector. The frame attachment section is attached to a frame member with fasteners and the foundation attachment section is attached to the foundation with anchors. The foundation attachment section has a curved foundation attachment base. The frame attachment section has a curved frame attachment base. A transition section is provided between the foundation attachment section and the frame attachment section that is curved.

A method of constructing a prefabricated wall structure comprising orienting interspaced stud molds having an H-shaped channel shape cross sections and edges defining an open portion of the channel shape, in a horizontal configuration within a framing means having a top, bottom, and sides and providing containing walls of the mold such that the edges of the molds form uppermost parts of the stud molds and are located within an essentially horizontal plane within the framing means; the stud molds being spaced equally between the top and bottom framing means to thereby create a space above and below, wherein the stud molds and framing means create cavities that are in fluid communication with one another; positioning rigid insulation panels within the framing means, to form a continuous surface within the framing means; pouring concrete into the enclosed forms so as to cover the rigid insulation panels and to fill the stud molds thereby forming the prefabricated wall structure, permitting the poured concrete to set; and removing the wall structure.

Improved equipment bases and methods for making and using same are disclosed herein. The equipment base can include a first coated substrate including a first part having a first thickness sized to provide the load-bearing support for the equipment, a first elastomer coating the first part, a second coated substrate positioned adjacent to the first coated substrate, the second coated substrate including a second part having a second thickness sized to provide the load-bearing support for the equipment, and a second elastomer coating the second part. A first seam can be formed between the first and second coated substrates to allow for moisture to pass between the first and second coated substrates so that moisture is allowed to seep away from the bottom of the equipment.

A support stand for supporting a volumetric modular unit above the ground is disclosed. The support stand includes a top portion with a top surface for contacting and supporting an underside of the modular unit above the ground. A bottom portion with a bottom surface supports the top portion at an elevation above the ground against the underside of the modular unit. An elevating portion has a top side connected to the top portion, a bottom side connected to the bottom portion, and an elevating span between the top side and the bottom side. A pad is connected to the bottom portion. The pad has a bottom surface for contacting and supporting the bottom portion against the ground, an inner pad perimeter and an outer pad perimeter. The top surface is parallel with the bottom surface. The underside and weight of the modular unit is supported on the top surface.

A foundation engineering machine and method for producing a trench in the ground include a substantially vertical mast, a diaphragm wall apparatus displaceably supported in a longitudinal direction of the mast for producing the trench, and a bar-shaped holder, at the lower end of which the diaphragm wall apparatus is mounted and with which the diaphragm wall apparatus is linearly displaceable along the mast. An upper first clamping sledge with a first clamp for releasably clamping the bar-shaped holder and a lower second clamping sledge with a second clamp for releasably clamping the bar-shaped holder are movably supported on the mast. The first clamping sledge and the second clamping sledge are movable relative to each other, and the lower second clamping sledge has a connector for mounting an additional lifting device disposed on the ground, with which a force can be applied in the longitudinal direction onto the second sledge.
