A head for supports of raised floors includes a support body having an upper surface shaped as a cavity partially counter-shaped to receive a spherical cap; a protrusion emerging from the upper surface of the support body and having a threaded side wall; a tilting element having in its upper part a flat surface for supporting building elements and in its lower part a portion partially shaped like a spherical cap configured to be laid on the support body, the tilting element having a through hole configured to receive the protrusion; and a ring nut having an inner surface and an outer lateral surface, the inner surface being threaded to mesh with the threaded portion of the side walls of the protrusion, the outer lateral surface being shaped to abut against the inner surface of the through hole in the tilting element.

The present invention is a modular structural building method consisting of prefabricated, precast, composite reinforced concrete raised floor and steel beam panels with adjustable levelling connection assemblies between panels, supported by columns. The system has the ability to accommodate the use of the floor by construction personnel during the on-site assembly process. The perimeter of the raised floor slab can be provided with ducts for a field installed conventional reinforcement means to create a continuous structural diaphragm for the floor panel.

A floor frame includes at least two spaced longitudinal support strips and at least one lateral support strip. Each longitudinal support strip has longitudinal upper and lower portions and a pair of longitudinal side walls. A shoulder is designed on at least one of the pair longitudinal side walls and located between the longitudinal upper and lower portions. Two shoulders of the two longitudinal support strips are opposite to each other. The lateral support strip includes lateral upper and lower portions and a pair of lateral side walls. Two ends of the lateral support strip are placed on the two shoulders of the longitudinal support strips, respectively. A plurality of longitudinal and lateral support strips constitutes a grid-type structure under the distribution of longitudinal and lateral directions to provide the placement and fixation of a plurality of floor panels.

A water diverting ground platform includes a base plate having an interlocking edge, a plurality of tent stake apertures and a plurality of intersecting channels upon a first face. The device is configured to provide a water diverting platform for a structure such as a tent secured upon the top of the device. The interlocking nature of each platform permits a user to create as large a foundation as required by the tent of a user.

A load bearing raised flooring system panel, having an integrated pressure sensitive layer adapted to generate a visual indication when excess load is applied to the load bearing raised flooring system panel. The pressure sensitive layer determines how much pressure (or load) is applied to the load bearing raised flooring system panel, and upon detecting pressure above a threshold, indicative of excess load, a visual indication is generated and displayed on the load bearing raised flooring system panel.

A modular platform system includes a plurality of tiles, legs, beams, and brackets. Peripheries of the tiles and top surfaces of the beams are configured so that the tiles can snap on to the beams, allowing for easy creation of a platform. The beams, legs, and brackets are all configured so that the beams and legs are easily connected together for platform system creation.

A mat assembly includes a center section and four ramps that create a unitary mat assembly for any desired use. The center section includes a top plate that provides the desired kind of mat surface for use and a sponge layer underlying the top plate to provide the center section with a cushioned feel during use. Each ramp includes a flange that extends from an end portion of the ramp, the flange configured to be joined between the top plate and sponge insert. The ramps can be joined to each other using a connector or a mitered connection.

A system and a method are provided for securing an element (50) to a support surface (70). The system comprises at least one rail member (10), a mounting part (20) and the element. The rail member comprises a lower face (11) at least partially contacting the support surface, opposed to an upper face (12) and connected thereto by opposed lateral walls (14, 15) thereby to define a box section. Each lateral wall projects above the upper surface and an edge portion thereof forms an inward flange to define a substantially C-profiled rail with the upper surface. The mounting part (20) comprises a base plate, is substantially rectangular, made at least partially of a resilient material and dimensioned complementarily with the rail member, such that a width of the base plate corresponds at least to a distance intermediate the opposed lateral walls and a thickness of the base plate corresponds at least to a distance intermediate the upper face of the rail member and an underside of the flange, the at least partial resiliency of the base plate causing the mounting part to compress for sliding between the opposed rails and to decompress for achieving an interference fit. The base plate of the mounting part (20) comprises a topside (22) bearing at least a pair of upward feet (26A, 26B), each foot being configured on a same face with at least one tenon projecting orthogonally thereto. The or each element (50) has a lower face configured with at least two recesses (56A, 56B), each recess comprising a groove dimensioned for engagement with the or each tenon of a respective foot in use.

A modular datacenter facility and a method thereof is provided in accordance with some embodiments. The module datacenter facility can be constructed with an initial set of building modules of different types of functionality. A first building module can be a data-floor building module. A first set of sidewall-connected heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (“HVAC”) units can connect to a sidewall of the modular datacenter facility and use electrical power provided by a first electrical power distribution building module to supply conditioned air into an air-supply plenum of the sidewall to cool computing systems housed in the data-floor building module. The first set of the sidewall-connected HVAC units allow for fewer penetrations in a roof of the data-floor building module, thereby minimizing an amount of leaks potentially occurring in the roof of the ceiling, and thereby minimizing risk of any damage to the computing systems.

A support for raised floors includes a base and a head coupled to the base, the head having a support body and a tilting element laid on the support body, the tilting element having a plate-shaped portion with an upper surface that is partially flat for supporting a building elements, protrusions emerging from a circular crown of the lower surface of the plate-shaped portion to create a profile shaped as a spherical cap ring, the outer edge of the circular crown being near the outer perimeter of the plate-shaped portion, the support body having an upper surface defining a cavity that is counter-shaped to the spherical cap ring at the protrusions emerging from the tilting element.
