In one aspect of a reinforced tile, the reinforced tile may be configured for use with a support structure that may be engaged with a top portion of a pedestal. The reinforced tile may be configured with a substrate adhered to a back side of a tile, and the substrate may be comprised of a fiberglass material A groove may he formed along at least one edge of the reinforced tile, and the groove may be positioned at the interface of the tile and substrate. The support structure may be formed with a generally vertical spine having at least one rail extending outward from a distal end thereof. The spine and rail(s) may he configured to secure one or more reinforced tiles, wherein one or more rails may be positioned within a groove formed in the reinforced tile.

An amusement system features an interactive floor with an array of panels laid out in one or more grids to collectively define an interactive floor surface, an illumination system operable to individually illuminate each panel, and a sensing system operable to detect presence of any participant atop any panel. A base frame of the interactive floor is composed of a plurality of base modules seated on a subfloor, and supporting a respective panel for one or more cells of the interactive floor. The base modules are not directly fastened together, and instead are only intercoupled by perimeter seals applied over peripheral regions of the panels of neighbouring modules. Separation of the modules is constrained by surrounding walls of a room fully occupied by the interactive floor. In gameplay, some panels are distinctively illuminated as hazards to be avoided by participants, subject to penalty.

The disclosed building construction system with split precast horizontal floor supports combines the strength and ease of construction of pre-cast concrete, with ease of transportation of cast-in-place concrete. The system avoids the requirement of casting difficult shapes by breaking the complex T-shape sections of prior patents into separate flat pieces. The formwork for flat pieces is simpler than that of complex items that include both long and wide components. For examine, T-shapes and cross-shapes are hard to cast and difficult to transport because these shapes do not sit flat, and thus must be supported at their ends. Instead of this complex casting and transport, the slabs are separated into shapes that can later be placed around the columns. This simulates the strength of a fully-precast system, while reducing the precast costs and transportation costs.

Disclosed is a support structure on which a floor panel is seated. The support structure includes a beam element disposed along an axis, a post supporting the beam element, a beam element bracket seated on top of the beam element, a seat pad seated on top of the beam element bracket, and supporting the floor panel, and a seat pad connection member connecting the beam element bracket and the seat pad to each other.

A fire rated glass flooring system having blast and/or seismic loading resistance, comprising: (a) a plurality of glass flooring units (100a, 100b), each unit comprising a first layer (116) of glass and a second layer (118) of glass, the two layers being positioned one above the other and separated by one or more load transferring means (120a, 120b), wherein the first layer of glass is a structural glass and the second layer of glass is a fire rated glass, and having an upper surface and an edge comprising a load-transferring means of the one or more load transferring means; (b) one or more beams (112), arranged, in use, to support the units, wherein, at a boundary between two adjacent flooring units, the two flooring units are arranged, in use, to be secured to a beam of the one or more beams; and (c) one or more expansion joints (110), each arranged, in use, at the boundary between two adjacent flooring units. Each expansion joint comprises: (i) two clips (200a, 200b), each clip being arranged, in use, to be connected to the load-transferring means in one of the two flooring units; (ii) a resilient seal (202) arranged, in use, to sit between the two clips, the seal extending substantially to the upper surface of the two units; and (iii) a drainage means (204), the drainage means being located substantially below the seal and the two clips, and arranged, in use, to capture and drain away any liquid which passes the seal.

A parking lot for motorized land vehicles including beams supporting ends of concrete slabs through the use of connecting plates fixed to the beams and through the use of a concrete strip connecting the ends of the concrete slabs. Also, the method of assembling the parking lot or supporting structure.
