The invention relates to a structural system (1) with acoustic insulation properties, comprising modular mountable enclosures (2) for configuring a construction (3), the enclosures (2) comprising at least three layers (4, 5, 6) joined together by means of fasteners (7a, 7b, 7c) with discreet elastic elements, the system having at least one second layer (5) disposed in an intermediate position between the first layer (4) and the third layer (6).

In one embodiment, a flashing system is provided for fortifying seams between a first blast, ballistic, and forced entry resistant shelter module and a second blast, ballistic, and forced entry resistant shelter module. The system includes a first side flashing assembly for fortifying a first side seam between the first blast, ballistic, and forced entry resistant shelter module and the second blast, ballistic, and forced entry resistant shelter module, a top flashing assembly for fortifying a top seam between the first blast, ballistic, and forced entry resistant shelter module and the second blast, ballistic, and forced entry resistant shelter module, and a second side flashing assembly for fortifying a second side seam between the first blast, ballistic, and forced entry resistant shelter module and the second blast, ballistic, and forced entry resistant shelter module. The system can also include fastening assemblies for coupling the flashing assemblies with the blast, ballistic, and forced entry resistant shelter modules.

A modular housing system and methods for using the same are provided. In accordance with some embodiments of the disclosed subject matter, the modular housing system comprises: a plurality of prefabricated system modules that are vertically aligned with each other and joined with a first fastener assembly to form a central system module having a front perimeter portion and a rear perimeter portion; a mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) module that is connected to the rear perimeter portion of the central system module; an elevator module that is connected to the front perimeter portion of the central system module; and a plurality of prefabricated housing modules that are connected to the central system module, the MEP module, and the elevator module, wherein each of the plurality of prefabricated housing modules is vertically aligned with each other to form a stacked housing unit and joined to the central system module and the elevator module with a second fastener assembly.

A method of manufacturing wall elements for buildings, cross laminated timber panels of a specific width and length stocks in a store, and the panels are sawed up transversely to the longitudinal direction to obtain cross laminated timber panels of the same width and smaller length. A plurality of panels are placed onto a conveying track transversely to the direction of running, and indeed such that the panels are flush at the top and bottom and the side edges of consecutive panels contact one another. The panels on the conveying track are connected along the contacting longitudinal sides to form a cross laminated timber apron. The apron is sawed up transversely to the direction of running of the conveying track to obtain cross laminated timber boards of a defined width.

A threaded fastener actuator that includes a worm-gear used to transfer rotational power to an impeller gear. The impeller gear includes a polygonal channel for receiving an actuator feature included in a threaded fastener. As the worm-gear is rotated, the impeller gear rotates about a vertical movement axis, which causes the threaded fastener contained in polygonal channel to also rotate and engage with a corresponding threaded coupler.

The present invention relates to a Tetris house designing system, and the technical problem to solve is to facilitate house design by laymen and enable a simulation for a finally decided house structure. For example, disclosed is a Tetris house designing system comprising: a unit interior space providing part for providing respective unit interior spaces of a house by dividing the unit interior spaces into three-dimensional blocks reflecting the actual areas of certain sizes; a unit interior space selection part for selecting the type and number of the unit interior spaces; a house structure generation part for generating house structure data by combining three-dimensional blocks selected by the house unit interior space selection part; and a virtual reality data providing part for generating and providing virtual reality data on the basis of the house structure data.

Collapsible building frame modules having first and second frame components are contemplated. One or more cross-link beams couple the first and second frame components. It is contemplated that the one or more cross-link beams slide along a frame component on one end and rotate with respect to a different frame component on an opposite end to thereby fold or unfold a building frame module. One or more building frame modules can be horizontally or vertically stacked to form a building frame or a portion of a building frame.

A connector system for interconnecting vertically adjacent and/or laterally adjacent modular units of a building constructed from such modular units assembled rigidly together includes connectors that are rigidly attached to the modular units. These connectors are able to rigidly interlock with each other so that, when the connectors of adjacent modular units are interlocked with each other, the adjacent modular units are also rigidly attached to each other. The connectors include sliding alignment features that ensure that resist lateral displacement of laterally adjacent modular units and also ensure proper alignment of vertically-engaging retention features that resist vertical displacement of vertically adjacent modular units.

The impeller gear includes a polygonal channel for receiving an actuator feature included in a threaded fastener. As the worm-gear is rotated, the impeller gear rotates about a vertical movement axis, which causes the threaded fastener contained in polygonal channel to also rotate and engage with a corresponding threaded coupler.
