An enclosure component having a thickness for a building structure having an interior sheathing layer comprising paper; a first structural layer bonded to the interior sheathing layer and comprising a first generally rectangular structural panel of magnesium oxide arranged in a side-by-side relationship with a second generally rectangular structural panel of magnesium oxide to define a first structural panel seam between the first and second structural panels. There is a first binding strip of magnesium oxide positioned over the first structural panel seam and fastened to form a lap joint with the first structural panel and with the second structural panel, so as to bond together the first and second structural panes. The enclosure component includes a first strengthening layer, comprising woven fiber mat, bonded to the first structural layer; and a foam layer with first and second opposing faces comprising a first generally rectangular foam panel and a second generally rectangular foam panel arranged in a side-by-side relationship to define a foam panel seam between the first and second foam panels. The first structural panel seam is offset from the foam panel seam a select distance in a direction generally perpendicular to the thickness. The first strengthening layer is bonded to the first opposing face of the foam layer. The enclosure component also has a second structural layer comprising a third generally rectangular structural panel of magnesium oxide arranged in a side-by-side relationship with a fourth generally rectangular structural panel of magnesium oxide to define a second structural panel seam between the third and fourth structural panels. There is a second binding strip of magnesium oxide positioned over the second structural panel seam and fastened to form a lap joint with the third structural panel and with the fourth structural panel, so as to bond together the third and fourth structural panels. The second structural panel seam is offset from the foam panel seam a select distance in a direction generally perpendicular to the thickness; and the second structural layer is bonded to the second opposing face of the foam layer.

The invention provides a method of constructing a modular multi-storey building including: assembling first and second building modules in a vertical arrangement at an 5 installation location to form a multi-storey building structure, wherein temporary support members between the first and second building modules vertically support at least part of the second building module above the first building module; installing a permanent support structure 10 and connecting it to the first and second building modules to vertically support the second building module above the first building module; and removing the temporary support members.

Hybrid foundation system

A foundation support system for supporting a manufactured building from a ground surface, includes a pan configured to engage the ground surface. The pan includes a longitudinal bracket integrally formed in the pan. The bracket includes a pair of spaced walls extending in a longitudinal direction. First and second longitudinal struts include first and second lower strut ends, respectively, received between and attached to the spaced walls of the longitudinal bracket. The pan may also include an integrally formed lateral bracket which receives a lateral strut. The pan may include integral reinforcing ribs extending parallel to and between the walls of each bracket.

Wind power generation apparatus, tower and method for suppressing tower shadow effect of tower

A wind power generation apparatus, a tower and a method for suppressing a tower shadow effect of the tower. The tower is provided with suction through holes extending through a circumferential wall thereof, and the suction through holes are distributed in a circumferential direction of the tower; the tower is further provided with a suction apparatus, and the suction apparatus can perform suction to the suction through holes from outside to inside. With the tower and the method, when the suction through holes at a windward side are suctioned, the adverse influence of the tower shadow effect can be weakened or eliminated, a service life of a pitch varying bearing can be prolonged, a noise can be reduced and a wind energy utilization coefficient can be improved. When the suction through holes at a position of a bypassing flow detachment are suctioned, vortex-induced vibrations can also be suppressed.

A mast assembly for a drilling rig includes a mast formed from a plurality of mast subunits. The mast assembly includes a lower drilling machine, upper drilling machine, and upper mud assembly, each of which is coupled to and movable vertically relative to the mast. The mast subunits are separable when the mast is in a transport configuration such that the LDM is positioned in a first subunit and the UDM is in a second subunit of the mast when the mast is in the transport configuration. The mast assembly may be used during a continuous drilling operation.

INFLATABLE HABITAT FOR PERMANENT HUMAN SETTLEMENT
20220290422 · 2022-09-15 ·

An inflatable habitat using inflatable structures and necessary accessories offers secure permanent human settlement in an environment such as Mars with an air pressure below the earth's atmospheric pressure. Built upon a crater, the inflatable structure comprises various resilient multilayer roof segments integrated with segment frames to contain extreme internal inflation pressures to provide habitability, maintenance of thermal environment, and low-cost manufacturability using local resources. The roof of the inflatable structure is firmly secured along a rim and a floor of the crater through a wall anchor system and a dual internal roof anchor system to provide a durable structure against hostile weather conditions. A “smart design” using the wall anchor system allows the installation of an outer roof in parallel to the existing roof. Further, a magnetic radiation shield generated through roof power elements externally encloses the roof to facilitate optimal active protection against solar and/or cosmic radiations.
