An anti-seismic performance reinforcement structure of a masonry structure and a construction method of the same are proposed, where a deformed bar is constructed to be tied to the entire circumference of the masonry structure at every predetermined height thereof such that the masonry structure is connected to a wall, thereby simplifying a construction process, and inducing the masonry structure and the wall to be moved integrally to each other during an earthquake so as to prevent the masonry wall from collapsing. The method of performing anti-seismic performance reinforcement and crack repair of the masonry structure includes: removing a predetermined depth of a horizontal joint; mounting the cross joint by forcibly press-fitting the cross joint having the press-in holder and the horizontal holder to a perforated position; fixing a deformed bar fixture to the wall; and tying the entire circumference of the masonry structure with the deformed bar.

A horizontal support apparatus and method are provided for use with any structure having a horizontal span, including but not limited to doors, garages, and windows. The horizontal support apparatus may include two support columns, a lintel that is configured to be attached to the support columns, and that includes a vertical flange and a horizontal flange. The apparatus may include two lift bolts coupled to two end portions of the horizontal flange. The two lift bolts may be configured to respectively raise the two end portions of the horizontal flange. The apparatus may include two rotatable lift nuts that, when rotated, raise the lift bolts to engage and raise the two ends of the horizontal flange.

The present invention provides an exterior wall maintenance apparatus. In certain embodiments, the exterior wall maintenance apparatus comprises a suspension means; and a suspended platform, where the suspended platform is physically coupled with the suspension means and the suspension means moves the suspended platform vertically and horizontally in parallel to an exterior wall of high rise buildings.

A method for repairing wall diseases of an earthen architecture includes the following specific steps: S1: selecting raw material components, and mixing the raw material components to prepare a mixed material; S2: mixing the mixed material with plain soil at a certain ratio to form a repair material; and S3: mixing the repair material with water at a certain ratio to prepare slurry, adjusting the ratio of the repair material to water to prepare the slurry based on diseases of the earthen site, putting the slurry into a pressure grouting machine, and repairing the diseases of the earthen site by using the pressure grouting machine. The repair material prepared in the method features excellent performance, stable volume and good compatibility with a site. The method based on the repair material has certain practical significance in repairing diseases of the earthen site.

The present disclosure relates to a device and a system for gas injection in cavities of building structures, particularly for drying, decontaminating or drying and decontaminating building structures. The present disclosure also relates to a device and a system for gas extraction from cavities of building structures, particularly for drying, or for drying and decontaminating building structures. The present disclosure also generally relates to a system for monitoring parameters of a gas injection/extraction process using the device and system provided herein.

A facade gantry allows for close inspection of a facade using remotely operated cameras, probes, and/or sampling devices. These devices are located in a housing that is positioned in front of a facade by a system of cables, from which it is suspended, that allow for movement in any direction in a plane. Two cables are attached to the housing containing the sensors and tools and are wound onto two separate spools located on the roof at the vertical boundaries of the inspection area. By winding and unwinding these spools, the housing can be raised, lowered, and moved from side to side. The invention further has an optional shed located on the ground that protects pedestrians in the case of a suspension system failure. The shed moves to maintain a position directly under the housing. The gantry optionally allows for repair of the facade by using remotely operated repair tools.

A loose-fill granular insulation blowing machine includes a main body having an internal frame and a hopper chamber that is positioned along the top end of the main body. A grate is positioned beneath the hopper and a dispensing chamber is located along the bottom end of the main body. A funnel section is interposed between the grate and the dispensing chamber, and a valve is positioned along the bottom of the funnel. An agitator having a motorized central shaft and a plurality of paddles is positioned within the dispenser chamber. A blower having an inlet is positioned along one side of the dispenser chamber and an outlet is positioned along the opposite side of the dispenser chamber. A plurality of air diffusers are positioned within the dispenser chamber. Each of the diffusers are in communication with an air coupler that is removably secured to an air compressor.

A repair patch for repairing holes, cracks or other types of damage that can replicate a surface (eg: drywall, wall, ceiling, door) by rubbing on the replicating repair patch as it rests on the undamaged surface area of an inanimate object. The patch is then applied over the damaged area of the inanimate object and rubbed around the edges to create a textured repair of the damaged surface of the inanimate object. The repair patch includes a sheet, circular or of any any other shape, made of aluminum or aluminum foil with a paper covered adhesive backer.
