The present disclosure relates to deployable structures and methods of use thereof. In particular, deployable structures with non-cylindrical or irregular shapes and methods of use thereof are disclosed. Non-cylindrical combustion elements can be used to rigidize such non-cylindrical or irregular shapes. The use of gaseous oxidizers along with deployable structures is also disclosed.

A transverse span for an airform membrane is disclosed that can include a material having a perimeter defined at least in part by a longitudinal edge having opposite ends that terminate at a base edge further defining the perimeter. The longitudinal edge can be configured to couple to a longitudinal edge of an adjacent transverse span of the airform membrane. The base edge can at least partially define a base perimeter of the airform membrane for coupling with a base support structure. The transverse span can also include a load compensated region with a length dimension and/or a width dimension reduced from an intended final dimension to compensate for stretch of the material when the airform membrane is inflated. In addition, the transverse span can include a flare region between the load compensated region and the base edge. The flare region can transition in the length dimension and/or the width dimension between the load compensated region and the base edge.

The invention relates to a modular formwork system (1) for producing concrete elements (20), consisting of a plurality of individual moulds (2), said individual moulds (2) being produced at least on the surface (3) which faces the concrete, which is made of a plastic (4) that is cured layer by layer. The invention also relates to a method for producing the formwork system, and to a washer device for washing same.

The object of the invention is an 1-profile preform which comprises an outer wall (1) of the first flange and two inner walls (2) of the first flange arranged with respect to the outer wall (1) of the first flange, a first web wall (3) and a second web wall (4) being arranged in a plane parallel with respect to the first web wall (3), an outer wall (5) of the second flange, and two inner walls (6) of the second flange arranged with respect to the outer wall (5) of the second flange, wherein the corresponding walls (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) are arranged with respect to each other while retaining a gap forming a closed empty inner space of an 1-profile preform, and wherein a valve element (7) is arranged on at least one wall (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6). The object of the invention is also an 1-profile manufacturing method with the use of an 1-profile preform.

A method and system for constructing a monolithic structure with a moldable mixture including one or more rigid forms connected to form an inner rigid wall, an inner inflatable air form, wherein the inner inflatable air form extends from the inner rigid wall, one or more rigid forms connected together to form an outer rigid wall, and an outer inflatable air form, wherein the outer inflatable wall extends from the outer rigid wall.

Described is an assembly for erecting a reinforced structure of a hardening building material using a pneumoform. The assembly includes an anchor bar having a first portion secured to a foundation and a second portion; a clamp bar configured to be aligned with the second portion of the anchor bar; a fixation element configured to extend through the clamp bar and the second portion of the anchor bar; and a pneumoform having an outer perimeter incorporating a keder. The outer perimeter of the pneumoform is positionable within a space between the second portion of the anchor bar and the clamp bar such that upon locking the clamp bar to the anchor bar with the fixation element the keder is captured by the clamp bar creating a first seal and forming a fluid-tight internal volume configured to be inflated. Related assemblies and methods are described.

A method for constructing a cylindrical tank which has a metallic inner tank and a concrete outer tank includes a step of building up a PC wall in an outer circumferential edge portion of a base plate, a step of assembling an outer tank roof on the base plate other than the outer circumferential edge portion of the base plate, a step of lifting the outer tank roof which is on the base plate using a jack-up unit while the PC wall is being built up and then holding the outer tank roof on the PC wall, and a step of assembling the inner tank independently of the outer tank roof in a space under the outer tank roof which is created due to the lifting.

The present invention relates to a pneumatic structure (10) comprising an inextensible body (12) defining at least a network of internal cavities (14), each cavity having a closed contour in at least one section of the cavity Each cavity being suitable for being pressurized so as to change the inextensible body from a rest configuration to at least one pressurized configuration, Inextensible body having, in each pressurized configuration, a macroscopic metric different from its macroscopic metric in the rest configuration, Each cavity being formed of at least two substantially rectilinear channels, each channel being fluidly connected to at least one of the other channels, the two said channels forming a heading change angle, Each cavity comprising at least one non-zero heading change angle, in particular at least three non-zero heading change angles.
