Provided is an accumulative sliding construction method of segmental track-changing for unequal-span structure, which divides the unequal-span structure into at least two sliding sections according to span variation, and a plurality of track segments corresponding to the spans of each sliding section. By providing sliders on the main truss/beam of each sliding section at positions corresponding to the track segments that each main truss/beam need to pass through, the sliding section smoothly passes through the sliding track segments to be in position; in addition, the main truss/beam of each sliding section is provided with temporary lengthening auxiliary structure or divided into an initial-mounted unit and rear-mounted units to allow the main truss/beam of each sliding section to pass through the track segments smoothly and to be in place.

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.

The method is for constructing parking structures, each parking structure having a site and being of the type including a plurality of parking decks, each deck being defined by a plurality of steel beams supporting a plurality of cementitious panels. The method is of the type wherein each panel is manufactured by pouring concrete into a form remote from the site. The improvement comprises: transporting a plurality of forms to premises proximal to the site; and constructing the panels.

A building includes a podium level steel transfer structure configured to receive vertical loads and lateral loads from upper portions of the building. The building may be a low-rise building or a mid-rise building. The podium level steel transfer structure may be at least partially pre-constructed such that final assembly may occur at a job site with reduced skilled labor. Transverse members of the podium level steel transfer structure may include engagement features extending vertically therefrom, and configured to align, engage, and retain at least one interior demising wall and at least one exterior wall in an orthogonal relationship through multiple fasteners. The engagement features may include a steel member with a trapezoidal profile having one or more angular notches, one or more captive fasteners, and at least one alignment hole.

An end panel bracket useful with a building panel system is provided. The end panel bracket comprises a base, a middle portion extending from the base, a shelf extending from the middle portion, a notch, and a ledge.

It consists of a set of pieces to be used in various combinations according to their specifications, which generates the structure of a house without using heavy construction equipment. This is possible because the pieces are completely made from an aluminum alloy, which generates reduced weight and cost. An innovative system of assemblies between the pieces ensures that only a couple of people can completely build the structure of their home in a practical and efficient way. After the construction of the structure, it is covered with staves of the same alloy which is mounted on supports connected to the structure.

All of this gives to whoever acquires this invention a legacy that has quality, practicality, aesthetics and easy assembly at reduced costs.

A structural member for a building, the structural member comprising: at least two spaced apart sidewalls, each sidewall formed from at least one contoured metal sheet; and at least one connecting vertex through which the sidewalls are connected, each connecting vertex include at least one structural bend formed in at least one of the contoured metal sheets, the sidewalls being connected through the connecting vertex to form a structural span therebetween, wherein each structural bend is formed between a first sheet section and a second sheet section of the respective contoured metal sheet, the first sheet section and second sheet section being connected about a bend line with the first sheet section extending from the bend line at a selected angle relative to the second sheet section, and wherein the first sheet section has a contoured profile that is a symmetrical mirror of the contoured profile to the second sheet section about the bend line.

The disclosure relates to the technical field of building construction, and provides a connecting member, an ALC batten mounting node structure, and a prefabricated mounting method. The connecting member includes a connecting part, a first pipe clamp, and a second pipe clamp. The connecting part includes a first connecting segment and a second connecting segment, the first pipe clamp and the second pipe clamp are respectively perpendicular to the first connecting segment, and symmetrically arranged on opposite sides of the first connecting segment, and the second connecting segment is bent towards one side of the first connecting segment. According to the ALC batten mounting node structure having the connecting member, the first connecting segment is located between a first ALC batten and a second ALC batten which are adjacent, the first pipe clamp is embedded in the first ALC batten, and the second pipe clamp is embedded in the second ALC batten; and the second connecting segment is configured for connecting a steel beam, achieves the effect of using the connecting member on a node position for simultaneously fixing the two adjacent ALC battens, enables fixation to be firmer, and enables a mounting process to be more convenient. The prefabricated mounting method based on the ALC batten mounting node structure can achieve sequential mounting of the ALC battens.

There is provided a horizontally and vertically extendable building structure module that includes a panel, a structural frame and one or more beams. The panel may be designed to form or set into a floor, ceiling, wall, window, door or any other components that may cover surface of the building. The structural frame may be designed to provide the structural shape and strength and hold the panels. The beams may be designed to connect and align the structural frame. The horizontally and vertically extendable building structure module is configured to build a building structure without additional structural support. Because of the minimized number of components for the building structure, time and cost for building construction may be reduced.
