The present invention relates to structure members having a body made of a composite material comprising at least one type of fiber and at least one type of resin, and pluralities of connection extensions which are one-piece with said body in order to provide connection to another structure member with the same properties, and the present invention relates to a structure formed by said structure members.

A bridge construction having a bridge support or abutment and a bridge deck supported thereon. The bridge deck includes a composite panel with a top plastic skin, a bottom plastic skin and a core arranged between and attached to the plastic skins. The bridge deck also includes an edge beam extending along at least one edge of the composite panel and resting on the bridge support. The top plastic skin has a protruding part which protrudes laterally relative to the core and the bottom plastic skin. The protruding part of the top plastic skin extends over and is attached to a top side of the edge beam, and both the core and the lower plastic skin extend laterally up to a front side of the edge beam.

A building structure (100) is erected on a concrete slab (105). The structure comprises a rigid beam-and-post frame (110) and a plurality of wall and roof panels (130, 145). A first end of the posts (120) of the frame are secured to the concrete slab. A beam (115) is secured to a second end of the posts. Adjacent wall and roof panels are secured to one-another by interlocking edges joined with adhesive or other fasteners. Wall panels adjacent to the posts of the frame may be secured to the posts. Roof panels are secured to the beam and wall panels. Wall panels are secured to the concrete slab by adhesive sealant (1000), angles (1005), and bolts (1010, 1015). Ceiling panels are secured to the beam by a plurality of bolts (1010), and brackets (1005, 1200). Openings (135) for windows and doors are formed in the wall panels.

The invention is a modular building component with rod-based dimensions. The modular building component comprises a prismatic box structure. A number of the prismatic box structures are placed side by side horizontally to create a ceiling and a floor with rod-based dimensions. The ceiling and the floor function as components of a building with rod-based dimensions. The building may also have walls that are also prismatic box structures with rod-based dimensions. Two or more of the buildings can be placed side by side to fill equal portions of an entire width of a perfect-acre lot. The buildings that fill an entire perfect-acre lot lead to a sustainable community design, given that no space is wasted. The rod-based building components are properly dimensioned for quickly assembling these optimally sustainable buildings.

An under deck drainage system is mounted on rail members connected to the bottom of deck stringers in a transverse orientation thereto. The rail members increase incrementally in thickness from the proximal end of the deck to the distal end of the deck where the water is discharged from the under deck drainage system so as to provide proper slope for the drainage of water by the under deck drainage system. A ventilation panel is mounted to the periphery of the deck to enclose the under deck drainage system yet provide an adequate supply of air to the system for drying water therefrom. The ventilation panel is formed with a ventilation portion that is located below the level of the deck stringers, and with a hem portion that has sufficient length to cover the under deck drainage system from view even at the distal end of the deck.

A securing clip for installation of flooring elements on a supporting element having a guiding groove for engagement with the securing clip, the securing clip having a cross section of a double-flange T type with an upper flange, a web and a lower flange, the upper flange being adapted to be engaged on its both sides with neighboring flooring elements, wherein the upper flange (2, 2) comprises at least two parts (2a, 2b; 2a, 2b) located on the opposite sides of the web (3, 3) and the lower flange (4, 4) comprises lips (5, 5) extending beyond each end the web (3, 3) in the direction along the web (5, 5), the lips (5, 5) being adapted to be blocked in the guiding groove (6), and in that at least the upper flange (2, 2) is made of elastic material. A system for installation of flooring elements, the system comprising at least one securing clip (1, 1) according to the invention and at least one supporting element (7).

An arena apparatus for staging a sport with at least one athlete, the arena apparatus includes a floor defining a perimeter, a wall coupled to the floor at the perimeter and extending upwardly and outwardly from the floor at an obtuse operative angle relative to the floor, an access point configured to permit the at least one athlete to selectively access the arena; and a support coupled to the floor.

The invention provides a modular structural prefabricated floor system, its manufacture, choice or options of the materials used, dependent on its use or specific application, are all commercially available standard construction materials or elements which are field, or job site assembled and then installed unto the main principal structure. A method of forming a modular floor system and a kit of parts for forming a modular floor system are also provided.

A lightweight universal panel mat made of plastic or elastomeric material and having a first section that provides a relatively flat, textured or structured top surface to facilitate movement over the upper surface and a second section having geometry that includes a plurality of cells having top surfaces that support the first section. The mats also include first, second, third and fourth sides forming a perimeter of the mat, wherein the first and second sides include upper structures having a sloped lower surface and the third and fourth sides include lower structures having sloped upper surfaces. The sloped surfaces are configured to allow for overlapping with sloped surfaces other like mats for interlocking therewith while forming a generally flat continuous top and bottom surface of the overlapped mats. The mats may be interlocked by a fastening member which fits in aligned openings of the adjacent mats for connection therewith.
