The present invention relates to a building system for erecting a building structure. The building system comprises a plurality of precast transportable concrete wall panels; each wall panel comprising a reinforcement structure and a plurality of cast-in connecting inserts, each connecting insert being located at a predetermined position; and a precast transportable concrete floor panel, the floor panel also comprising a reinforcement structure and a plurality of cast-in connecting inserts, each being located at a pre-determined position, the floor panel further comprising a recess along at least a portion of a perimeter of the floor panel. The building system is configured such that when each precast wall panel is positioned in a substantially upright position in the recess of the floor panel, connecting inserts of two adjacent panels align so that the panels can be connected using a plurality of mechanical fasteners.

The present invention provides a multi-layer roof system, and an installation method. The multi-layer roof system comprises a roof truss; and a multi-layer panel comprising a base layer, a plurality of intermediate layers, and at least one coating layer placed over the plurality of intermediate layers. The base layer comprises at least one membrane of waterproof or water resistant material configured to provide an under-laminate capable of being affixed to a building structure with no screws. The plurality of intermediate layers comprises a first intermediate layer, a second intermediate layer and a third intermediate layer. The first intermediate layer comprises a cooling layer. The second intermediate layer comprises a mesh layer. The third intermediate layer comprises a reflecting layer. The at least one coating layer may comprise a plurality of coating layers. The multi-layer roof system provides a multi-layer building roof structure configured to be both structurally sound and energy efficient.

A modular shelter, is provided having an assembly of at least one each of a modular wall panel, modular floor portion, and modular roof panel. The modular wall panel having a sill plate, top plate, plurality of vertical studs extending therebetween, and a skin with a first edge having a waveform profile for connecting to an adjacent modular panel; and one of the vertical studs being an end stud and having a first connector element configured to be secured to a first complementing connector element of an adjacent second modular panel; and further each modular roof panel has a peak crosspiece, bottom crosspiece, and plurality of rafters, with the first rafter having an engagement member to be engaged with a complementary engagement member of another modular roof panel, and further a second connector element configured to be secured to a second complementing connector element of a second modular roof panel.

A series of moment frames, each including two opposing spaced apart vertical legs and a horizontal crossbar connecting the top ends of the legs, are arranged linearly in spaced apart side-by-side array and opposing outer horizontal panel support beams are connected to the outside faces of the legs on each building side, offset below the crossbars. On the inside faces of the legs and running parallel to the beams, first and second opposing crane rails are attached. A bridge crane is mounted on the crane rails. Four-panel folding sections are assembled in an adjacent side-by-side array and rest on the panel support beams. Individual wall panels, arranged side-by-side, enclose the space from the bottoms of the legs (ground level) to the panel support beams. End panels, in various configurations, close the ends of the crane building and allow access doors or and other openings.

A structural tent intended for use as a living space able to withstand extreme temperatures, while still being comfortable and used on a temporary basis; comprising a frame on which there are assembled first profiles and lower posts which are attached to a plurality of second profiles, brackets and upper posts, which form the structure on which a ridgepole is supported; and where a filler material is introduced into the gap created between the frame and the outside fabric; and where, finally, the ridgepole is integrally supported on the upper posts, where honeycomb plates are supported, an impermeable roof being arranged on the honeycomb plates and the gaps in the honeycomb plates being filled with a fine granular material.

A building component system including a rigid plastic form having an arched shape in each of two perpendicular vertical planes and having a plurality of protrusions configured to engage concrete poured on top of the rigid plastic form. The system also includes concrete poured on top of the form and cured to bind to the form at least at the plurality of protrusions, thereby forming an arched ceiling for a first story of a building and a flat roof or flat floor for a second story of a building.

Gypsum panels, methods for their manufacture, and systems and methods for monitoring environmental conditions with such panels are provided herein. The panels include a gypsum core having a first surface and an opposed second surface, a first facer material associated with the first surface of the gypsum core, and an environmental sensor assembly associated with the gypsum panel and configured to detect an environmental condition of the gypsum panel and wirelessly communicate data on the environmental condition to a reader.

A double-shelled load-bearing structure module of any geometric shape, is formed from top and bottom secondary shell elements. A double-shelled load-bearing structure in the form of a primary shell structure is joined with the module, made of individual assembled load-bearing structure modules of this kind having statically necessary filling rods. The secondary shell elements have, in each corner, a connection pocket, which is open at the top or bottom or is open at the top and bottom, of appropriate size for connecting a plurality of load-bearing structure modules. The connection pocket, at least on the outside, on the outer vertical surfaces of the secondary shell elements, is delimited by preferably metal profiles or metal sheet. Connection tabs can also be disposed in each corner instead of connection pockets. The connection tabs are formed from angular surfaces, preferably metal sheet, protruding towards the intermediate space between the secondary shell elements.
