A structure has spaces that can accommodate at least two International Organization for Standardization compliant shipping containers. The structure has studs, joists, and rafters connected together above, besides, between, and in front of the spaces for the shipping containers. The structure provides for an attractive outdoor retail space with shading, allowing for signage, decorations, product display, ergonomics, and other retail design features. In an implementation, the structure is for a mobile retail space that is tailored for customizing and manufacture of the customized apparel, especially the laser finishing of products like jeans. The mobile retail space can be relocated to and deployed easily at various events, such as sports events and music festival venues.

This invention describes the use of pre-packaged air shipping containers for delivery of edge data center equipment. The containers are capable of rapid deployment and positioning at the edge data center delivery site to minimize time between the order of equipment and deployment of a functioning edge data center. The containers allow for easy access, and rapid repair/replacement of modular edge data center equipment.

A system for sealing prefabricated facilities or underground facilities may allow for the sealing and pressurizing of parts or all of an underground facility or enclosed facility via a plurality of sealable doors or prefabricated modules. The system may implement mechanical connections between walls or extensions of individual modules. The system may implement complementary mechanical connections or partially complementary mechanical connections between individual modules and may further include module interior or module exterior sealing layers for rigid layers. The system may implement mechanical connections between individual modules wherein each of the mechanical connections may utilize sealing complementary profiles constructed and arranged to provide for an airtight seal between modules. The system may be used to link surface facilities to underground facilities, tunnels or shafts, or to pressurize sections of tunnels or shafts. The system may be used to stabilize pressurized facilities from back-blast due to evacuation of said tunnels or shafts. The system may be used to construct pressurized surface habitats independent of, or linked to underground tunnels or facilities. The system may further be used to construct space platforms or space stations.

A connection node assembly for use in connecting an upper prefabricated building module to a lower module. Hollow vertical edge supports of the building modules have top and bottom connection parts. A connecting bolt can be passed through the top part of an upper vertical support in the upper building module and seated within the bottom part of that vertical support with the shank extending downward. The shank engages a threaded aperture in a connecting nut secured within the top part of a corresponding lower vertical support in the lower building module. Diaphragm plates sandwiched between the upper and lower vertical supports are used to tie horizontally placed modules together.

A building structure and a kit comprising: a hollow shell; a plurality of exterior panel assemblies attached to an exterior surface of the shell, each panel assembly including: a mounting member extending outwardly from the shell, the mounting member having a first end secured to the shell and a second end located away from the shell; an exterior wall panel secured to the second end of the mounting member so as to be spaced from the shell. According to another aspect, there is also provided a building structure and a kit comprising: a hollow shell defining an interior enclosure sized and shaped to house at least one individual; a plurality of modular wall sections secured to the hollow shell inside the interior enclosure.

The present invention is a method for accessing a model of a building; selecting a foundation; isolating a plurality of wall panels, wherein the wall panels are comprised of a set of members; selecting a group of the set of members which interface with the foundation, wherein the interface is identified as a connection between a wall member and the foundation; detecting an interface type between the foundation and the wall member, wherein each interface has a predetermined set of requirements; calculating a set of actual values associated with the interface type; comparing the set of actual values with a set of required values and determining the delta of the actual values and the required values; and identifying each interface where the delta is outside a predetermined range.

A multicon structure comprising six or twelve expandable portable shelters (EPSs) characterized by equal depth dimensions extending in the direction of the structure length, and each EPS having two faces that are transverse to the structure length. Each EPS comprises two sets of panels, each set of panels including a floor panel, a ceiling panel, side panels, and an end panel. Each set of panels folding out from a corresponding face. Each EPS may be characterized by a depth that is a unit fractional amount of an intermodal shipping container length. Each EPS having corner post assemblies comprising a tubular stiffening structure, a hinge mount feature, and a panel interface feature. The outer panel having a gasket positioned such that, when the EPS is in a collapsed state, a watertight seal is formed between the gasket and the panel interface feature.

Readily joining CLT panels to obtain a box-shaped building unit. An orthogonal part of each surface of a rectangular parallelepiped has a structure wherein a surface of edge of lumber 11s of a CLT panel 11 is made abut on an inner main surface 10i of a CLT panel 10 and joined thereto by a joining member 2 so that a surface of edge of lumber 10s of the CLT panel 10 and an outer main surface 11o of the CLT panel 11 are flush. A joining part by the joining member 2 has a structure wherein the surface of edge of lumber 10s and the inner main surface 10i and outer main surface 10o of the CLT panel 10 are opened so that the outer main surface 10o side is wider than the inner main surface 10i side, the surface of edge of lumber 11s and at least the outer main surface 11o of the CLT panel 11 are opened so that the inner side of the CLT panel 11 is wider than the surface of edge of lumber 11s side, and the butterfly joint-shaped joining member 2 is inserted into the opening of the CLT panel 10 and the opening of the CLT panel 11 from the surface of edge of lumber 10s of the CLT panel 10 and the outer main surface 11o of the CLT panel 11 side.
