Apparatus, systems, and methods for attaching an assembled wall module to a building structure, according to which a framing section, including a plurality of structural members and a first coupler connected to a first structural member of the plurality of structural members, is connected to the building structure. After connecting the framing section to the building structure, relative movement is permitted, via the first coupler, between the framing section and the building structure in a first direction. Before connecting the framing section to the building structure, a plurality of sheeting sections may be connected to the framing section. The framing section may further include a second coupler; in such instances, after connecting the framing section to the building structure, relative movement is permitted, via the second coupler, between the framing section and the building structure in a second direction, which second direction is the same as the first direction.

A panel is disclosed for use in construction. The panel comprises opposing surfaces that extend between first and second opposite ends. The panel also comprises a plurality of parallel (e.g. sawtooth) ridges. The ridges are provided on at least one of the opposing surfaces. The ridges extend along and adjacent to a first of the opposite ends of the panel for at least a part length thereof. The ridges are arranged to engage with and move past corresponding ridges of an adjacent panel when the panels move relative to each other in opposite directions. The ridges are further arranged so as to interfere with the ridges of the adjacent panel to resist relative movement in a reverse of the opposite direction.

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.

The invention proposes a system for constructing a module of a building, including core construction elements (1) that are surrounded by the surrounding construction elements (2A, 2B). The core construction elements (1) each include, in section, a cross including two main arms (6) of equal length which intersect at mid-length at right angle. Each core construction element (1) has a plane of symmetry about the axes of the arms. The main arms (6) of the cross terminate, at the ends thereof, with transverse portions (7). Each surrounding construction element (2A, 2B) is composed of four partial surrounding parts (2A, 2B, 2A′, 2B′) of a generally triangular shape which are assembled around a core element (1). Construction elements forming junction parts (4A, 4B) allow assembling panels (4A, 4B) to form a module of a building in the form of a rectangular parallelepiped volume comprising four corners.
