A truss support system (10) comprises a support pole (12), a connector (14) located at one end of the support pole (12) and for connecting to a scaffold pole (16), a first extendable arm (18) connected at one end to the support pole (12) and extending away from the support pole (12), and a first fixing plate (20) connected to the first extendable arm 18 at the opposite end to the support pole (12). The truss support system (10) is also provided with a second extendable arm connected at one end to the support pole (12) and extending away from the support pole (12), and a second fixing plate connected to the second extendable arm at the opposite end to the support pole (12).

A post stabilization system which uses components which allow for both pushing and pulling forces to be applied to a workpiece in situ. The system uses the ground as an anchor point to stabilize a workpiece being installed. A force application member is connected to an anchoring device at one end. The opposing end of the force application member is an abutment member for applying a stabilizing force to a pole or other vertically oriented workpiece. An adjustment/tensioning member is applied between the anchoring device and the abutment member to allow for adjusting the angle of the workpiece by applying either pushing or pulling forces to the workpiece.

Precast wall systems and methods for constructing a high-rise building using the precast wall system is disclosed. In one embodiment, the system includes a plurality of interconnected precast panels, each having a top end plate, a bottom end plate, a plurality of vertical bars disposed between the end plates and a cementitious material encasing the vertical bars and defining a plurality of sides of the respective panel. A first of the precast panels has a first column member half defining a right side of the first panel, a second of the precast panels has a second column member half defining a left side of the second panel such that, when the right side of the first precast panel and the left side of the second precast panel are disposed horizontally adjacent to each other, the first column member half and the second column member half collectively form a column member.

An apparatus for an entryway includes: a sheet of material having a top, a bottom, a left side, and a right side, and a sleeve at the top of the sheet of material. The sheet of material has an opening extending to the bottom of the sheet of material between the left side and the right side of the sheet of material from a position below the sleeve. The opening has a left seam and a right seam, wherein a first magnet is positioned at the left seam of the opening and a second magnet is positioned at the right seam of the opening, wherein the first and second magnets are magnetically coupled. A variable-length cross member has a first end and a second end. The cross member is positioned in the sleeve and includes a first securing mechanism at the first end and a second securing mechanism at the second end that secure the cross member respectively to body portions of a first vertical pole and a second vertical pole.

A mounting unit of a partition mount system that removably secures a sheet of material includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion has a first end and a second end opposite the first end and a pivot on a lower surface thereof. The second portion has a first end and a second end opposite the first end and is configured to mate with the first portion. The first end of the second portion is wider than the second end of the second portion. The first portion and second portion are configured to secure a sheet of material therebetween.

A foldable brace assembly for supporting concrete formwork includes a ground brace member pivotably coupled with an end of a wall brace member, such that the wall brace member can pivot to be generally parallel or generally perpendicular relative to the ground brace. With the wall brace member perpendicular to the ground brace member in an erect position, a diagonal brace member detachably couples between an upper portion of the wall brace member and the other end of the ground brace member. The brace assembly may be locked in the erect position, such as by inserting a pin in aligned openings in the wall brace member and the ground brace member. When the brace assembly is not in use, the pin may be removed and the brace assembly can pivot to a folded position with the wall brace member can pivot to be generally parallel to the ground brace.
