Acoustic Sleeper
20180030722 · 2018-02-01 ·

An acoustic sleeper for sound suppression in a floor assembly may be formed as a solid sleeper body made entirely from a resilient acoustic isolating material. The sleeper body has a thickness, a width, a length, a generally rectangular cross-section and first and second sides. The sleeper body first side includes a first side area and a first sleeper load-bearing surface for contacting a first floor assembly structure, the first sleeper load-bearing surface having a first load-bearing surface area equal to or less than the first side area. The sleeper body second side has a pair of solid sleeper feet extending therefrom. The sleeper feet collectively provide a second sleeper load-bearing surface for contacting a second floor assembly structure. The second sleeper load-bearing surface has a second load-bearing surface area that is less than the first side area by at least a factor of three.

Post-tension cable protection system, method for installing the system and method for remediation of a defective post-tension reinforcement system
09834933 · 2017-12-05 ·

An improved method of creating a waterproof seal for post tension cable systems roughens and decontaminates the cable's stressing end pocket with a diamond bladed reaming tool and closes the newly formed cavity with epoxy resin and a precasted plug made of non-shrink grout. The method includes pouring a concrete slab around an anchor and a pocket former through which a cable passes and is held by wedges. After the pocket former is removed and the cable is stressed, the cable is cut and a grease cap is applied. The system ensures that the cable is properly cut, the grease cap is properly seated, the inside of the pocket is roughened, and the seal at the cable's stressing end is waterproof. Furthermore, the invention aids in removing previously grouted pockets when cable remediation is needed and closing the pocket with a precasted plug when cable remediation is completed.

System and method for plugging core holes
09695607 · 2017-07-04 · ·

A system, device, and method for plugging core holes. A core hole plug includes a top compression plate, a bottom compression plate, and a rubber expansion ring that separates the top and bottom compression plates. A beveled screw hole can be created on the top compression plate. The beveled screw hole matches the angle of the bottom surface of the head of a flat head bolt to ensure that the bolt remains flush with the top compression plate. The rubber expansion ring can be squeezed between the top and bottom compression plates as the flat head bolt is screwed into a threaded receiver nut formed on the bottom compression plate. An installation tool can be utilized to install the core hole plug so that the top compression plate remains flush with an existing floor surface.

Internal Arch Diaphragm
20170167135 · 2017-06-15 ·

Cantilevers are a common occurrence in the field of mechanics. Typically, the analysis of cantilevers involves the use of a uni-axial system common to the analysis of a cross section undergoing flexural deformation. The internal arch diaphragm utilizes a biaxial system of forces to redirect flexural forces that ordinarily cause a cantilever span to fail, into a tension force that can be controlled via reinforcing or other stress control technique such as quenching depending on the material used.

The resulting system is lighter, stronger, and more capable of achieving system benchmarks unreachable without this technique. Further the elimination or rearrangement of support conditions in non cantilevered systems to accommodate the internal arch diaphragm allows for new mechanical systems.
