A method of manufacturing building panels includes assembling a frame of a building panel. The frame defines at least one cavity and at least one injection aperture in fluid communication with the at least one cavity. The method also includes positioning the frame on one of a base and a shelf of a multi-panel consolidation device having a plurality of shelves, with the shelves being in an expanded configuration, and at least substantially enclosing the at least one cavity. The method also includes forcing the shelves of the multi-panel consolidation device into a collapsed configuration, and injecting an expandable polymer through the at least one injection aperture into the at least one cavity. The method further includes forcing the shelves into an expanded configuration after a predetermined period of time selected to permit the expandable polymer to form a foam bonded to the frame.

A method of manufacturing a pre-stressed beam or panel and the resulting beam or panel are described. The method includes providing a timber-based component (1); providing a pre-stressing member (9) arranged along the timber-based component; applying a tensile force to the pre-stressing member (9); providing concrete anchors (11a, 11b) at locations that are spaced apart along the timber-based component (1); coupling the pre-stressing member (9) to the concrete anchors (11a, 11b); and releasing the tensile force on the pre-stressing member (9) to transfer a compressive force to the timber-based component (1) through the concrete anchors (11a, 11b) to form a pre-stressed beam or panel.

A constructive arrangement introduced in module for panels intended to the construction of prefabricated buildings. The modules for the construction of prefabricated buildings, having the objective of facilitating the handling and portability of each module; as well as increasing the structural strength of the module, and, consequently, of the panels composed of such modules. The constructive arrangement comprises of a module consisting of a galvanized metal sheet, folded at the ends, configuring characteristic profiles in the shape of an open socket, and a closed socket, capable of configuring panels by conjoining the modules screwed together and grouped by the upper and lower profiles, characterized by having stiffening ribs near the central portion of the sheets, and stiffening ribs near the profiles.

This invention concerns a method of doing business which is combined with several scientific advancements of technological ingenuity that results in a novel way of doing business. It in fact teaches a “business method” which creates an innovative approach to obtain annual multi-billion dollar financial revenue as monthly rental income; which results from a rather large scale residential development community of 2000 dwelling units per 50 acre parcels; each parcel being developed upon heretofore 10,000 separately abandoned “Municipal Solid Waste” MSW landfill sites throughout the United States. These apartments are exclusively geared as rentals of a 1,020 square foot-two-bedroom apartment dwellings for only Covid-19 “First Responders” and military service personnel, for the unprecedented sum of just $800/month rent. Additionally, as a supplemental “business method” approach, this instant business model also teaches how to solve the nation's Municipal Solid Waste MSW disposal problems forever into the future as an ingenious viable solution into perpetuity. Moreover, it is further postulated within this business model that further collateral financial revenue automatically inures as a natural business consequence of the sheer necessary and vital purchase of construction materials needed herein, thus positioned as a leveraged-buyout; whereby this 76 billion dollar opportunity now becomes an integral adjunct to this unique business model by adopting a “Home Depot” type retail business concept structure as additional revenue sharing for this inventor's shareholders.

A construction assembly for a prefabricated building, comprises horizontal elements and vertical elements as well as assembly elements. The horizontal, vertical and assembly elements are formed by a first panel forming one of the longitudinal faces, a second panel forming a structuring layer on the opposite longitudinal face, and an insulating layer disposed between the longitudinal faces. The thickness U of the vertical elements corresponds to the cross-section of the assembly elements, the length of the vertical elements is a multiple of U, and at least some of the assembly elements further comprise fluid pipes and/or electrical cabling.
