A Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) connection is provided that can be used to connect at least two CLT components such as CLT panels. The CLT joint includes a first CLT component, a second CLT component, and a spline. The first CLT component includes a first recessed channel. The second CLT component includes a second recessed channel. A first end of the spline is configured to nest within the first recessed channel. A second end of the spline is configured to nest within the second recessed channel. The CLT panel includes a first CLT side and a second CLT side. The first CLT side includes a recessed channel. The second CLT side may be opposite the first CLT side and includes a grooved extension. The grooved extension and the recessed channel have complimentary patterns. A CLT panel system is also provided comprising a plurality of CLT panels.

A bearing clip for joining a truss to a bearing material is disclosed. The bearing clip includes a base portion, a vertical portion, and at least one wing. The base portion includes a back end, sides adjacent to the back end and a bottom surface. The vertical portion extends from the back end of the base portion in a first direction away from the bottom surface. The at least one wing extends from a side of the base portion at an obtuse angle and at least partially in the first direction.

A wall/roof panel includes (a) a façade that has (i) an outer surface that defines a front surface of the panel and (ii) a rear surface and (b) a structural element connected to and supporting the façade.

An apparatus for connecting collar components to an elongate member is disclosed. The apparatus includes a frame structure having a central opening that is configured to receive an elongate member and that includes at least a first gripping station and a second gripping station. Each gripping station includes a reference surface and a clamp device that is configured to force a collar component against the reference surface. The first and second gripping stations are configured to control relative spatial location of a first collar component held by the first gripping station relative to a second collar component gripped by the second gripping station, prior to connecting the first and second collar components to the elongate member.

A beam-end component welding fixture including a stand having a central horizontal axle mechanism and a housing. A handle is mounted on a first end portion of the axle mechanism and a rotatable plate structure is mounted on a second end portion of the axle mechanism. A column connecting simulator is attached to the plate structure and configured to support a beam-end component.

Modular shelter systems are described herein. In one aspect, the modular shelter system includes an endcap positioned at a first end of the modular shelter system. The endcap includes a first support arch; and an endcap frame. The modular shelter system also includes a second support arch positioned at a second end of the modular shelter system. The modular shelter system also includes at least one section assembly disposed between the first support arch and the second support arch. The section assembly includes a plurality of purlins oriented along a longitudinal axis of the modular shelter system.

A grid framework structure configured to support one or more load handling devices includes a grid structure including a first set of grid members extending in a first direction and a second set of grid members extending in a second direction, the second set of grid members running transversely to the first set of grid members in a substantially horizontal plane in a grid pattern containing plural grid cells; plural vertical uprights supporting the grid structure; and an adjustable grid levelling mechanism for adjusting the level of the grid structure.

A track for a grid framework structure configured to guide a load handling device operative to move one or more containers, the rid framework structure including a plurality of grid members converging or intersecting at nodes in a grid pattern to form a grid structure 40 including a plurality of grid cells. The track comprising a plurality of track sections mountable to the grid structure to form a track surface upon which the load handling devices may move on the grid structure, wherein each track section of the plurality of track sections is formed as a unitary body so as to provide a track surface extending in transverse directions.

A steel beam and a supporting arrangement for supporting a steel beam at console, the steel beam including a base plate, two web parts, and an end plate at each end of the steel beam. The base plate, the two web parts and the end plates delimit a space. At least one of the ends of the steel beam includes a console supporting slot extending from the at least one end of the steel beam. The console supporting slot is laterally at least partly limited by side plates inside the space of the steel beam, and by the side plates are attached to the end plate and to the base plate.

A modular support frame comprises trusses, purlins transverse to the trusses, and vertical posts supporting the various trusses. A supply of wedges permits flange-type connectors to be joined to complementary connectors throughout the foundation. The trusses are arranged end-to-end in parallel rows, each row comprising at least one pair of trusses or more depending on the desired size of the foundation. Vertical posts are positioned between the ends of each of the trusses within a row and at opposing ends of the row, and each post comprises a pair of flange-type connectors at predetermined heights. Each of the trusses is terminated at either end with a pair of complementary connectors such that adjacent in-line trusses can be mounted to the post between them and the outer pair of trusses can be mounted to the posts terminated the row. Purlins extend perpendicularly between the trusses in adjacent rows to reinforce the frame. To that end, the trusses comprise flange-type connectors and the purlins are terminated at either end with complementary connectors.
