A prefabricated house including: a steel-frame foundation where H-shaped steels are connected in a rectangular contour, a vertical frame and a horizontal frame composed of an H-shaped steel are arranged inside the connected H-shaped steels, and inclined frames are mounted at four corners of the rectangular contour; a seismic isolation rubber supporting the steel-frame foundation on a foundation of the prefabricated house via a supporting frame; a rectangular floor member; outer wall members erected from four peripheries of the floor member; an inner wall member mounted at a position partitioning the floor member; and a roof member with a mountain-shaped section mounted on the outer wall members via a climbing beam, wherein changing positions of a window and a door and changing a room layout can is possible by changing positions of the wall member panels or reversing outer and inner faces or upper and lower sides of these panels.

A bearing wall includes a pair of vertical members that are joined to upper and lower horizontal members of a building so as to be spaced apart in a horizontal direction; and a wall surface member that includes a first joint portions joined to one of the vertical members, that includes a second joint portions joined to another of the vertical members, and that includes circular-shaped opening portions that are spaced apart in an up-down direction between the pair of vertical members so as to be disposed in a single column. A separation distance between a center of one opening portion and a center of an opening portion that is adjacent to the one opening portion in the up-down direction is shorter than a horizontal separation distance between the first joint portions and the second joint portions.

This invention concerns a method of doing business which is combined with several scientific advancements of technological ingenuity that results in a novel way of doing business. It in fact teaches a “business method” which creates an innovative approach to obtain annual multi-billion dollar financial revenue as monthly rental income; which results from a rather large scale residential development community of 2000 dwelling units per 50 acre parcels; each parcel being developed upon heretofore 10,000 separately abandoned “Municipal Solid Waste” MSW landfill sites throughout the United States. These apartments are exclusively geared as rentals of a 1,020 square foot-two-bedroom apartment dwellings for only Covid-19 “First Responders” and military service personnel, for the unprecedented sum of just $800/month rent. Additionally, as a supplemental “business method” approach, this instant business model also teaches how to solve the nation's Municipal Solid Waste MSW disposal problems forever into the future as an ingenious viable solution into perpetuity. Moreover, it is further postulated within this business model that further collateral financial revenue automatically inures as a natural business consequence of the sheer necessary and vital purchase of construction materials needed herein, thus positioned as a leveraged-buyout; whereby this 76 billion dollar opportunity now becomes an integral adjunct to this unique business model by adopting a “Home Depot” type retail business concept structure as additional revenue sharing for this inventor's shareholders.

A system for mounting a load to a wall frame is disclosed. The system has upper and lower mounting systems. Each of the upper and lower mounting systems has a wall bracket and a load bracket. The wall brackets of the upper and lower mounting systems each include a retaining flange, and are configured to be mounted to the wall frame. While the wall brackets of the upper and lower mounting systems are mounted to the wall frame, a space is defined between the wall and the retaining flanges. The wall bracket of the lower mounting system includes a ledge that is configured to support the load. The load brackets of the upper and lower mounting systems each include a retainable flange, and are configured to be mounted to the load. While the load is mounted to the wall, the weight of the load is supported by the ledge.

The invention relates to a rupture element, which is located in concrete structures and the rupture element comprises a sheet material with edges that are bent at an angle so that they produce a tenon-shape. The rupture element, if necessary, is waterproof and produces slightly weakened cracks in the predefined location of concrete.

A building construction system comprising: a primary support member having a first end and a second end, an inner facing part and an opposite outer facing part, a secondary support member having a first end and a second end, inner facing part and an opposite outer facing part, a first beam having a first connecting part, a second connecting part, an inner facing part and an outer facing part, where the outer facing part of the first connecting part is configured to be attached to the inner facing part of the primary support member and an outer facing part of the second connecting part is configured to be attached to the inner facing part of the secondary support member, and where outer facing part of the first beam comprises a spacer element that is configured to extend from the primary support member to the secondary support member where an outer facing part of the spacer element is configured to be coextensive to the outer facing part of the primary support member and/or the outer facing part of the secondary support member.

A construction unit is provided, including a load-bearing frame including a plurality of upper horizontal members joined together at ends to form an upper frame portion, a plurality of lower horizontal members joined together at ends to form a lower frame portion, a plurality of vertical members joined to and vertically separating the upper frame portion from the lower frame portion, the vertical members being located at opposing corners defined by the upper frame portion and the lower frame portion. At least one hollow structural section is vertically positioned between the upper and lower frame portions and is fixed to the frame between adjacent pairs of the vertical members; and at least one sheathing panel joined directly to the at least one hollow structural section for forming a wall of the construction unit.

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 and method for a wall panel system having a plurality of wall panels arranged within a framework. The wall panels may include a plurality of retention devices releasably engaging the framework to position the wall panels relative to the wall panel system. One or more of the retention devices may be actuated to engage and disengage from the framework. The wall panel system may include trim releasably engaging the framework.

An apparatus comprises a solar panel or solar tile; and a pultrusion fiber reinforced polymer (PFRP) bracket connected to the solar panel or solar tile. The PFRP bracket mounts the solar panel or solar tile on a roof, and is configured to elevate the solar panel or solar tile a sufficient amount above the roof to enable airflow to occur under the solar panel or solar tile. The PFRP material comprises fibers embedded in a resin matrix. Exemplary fibers are glass, carbon, and synthetic fibers. PFRP products can be formed using a pultrusion method that eliminates outgassing. An intumescent fire barrier can be applied to the PFRP to meet National Fire Protection Association fire endurance codes and standards.
