Clearspan fabric structure
A clearspan structure including component systems, and methods of forming a clearspan structure including component systems, for mitigating hazards to personnel or equipment from explosions, fires, toxic material release, and other hazards in hazardous locations. The exemplary clearspan structure is also capable of withstanding environmental conditions such as snow loads and wind. The exemplary clearspan structure is, for example, a tent or fabric structure which includes a plurality of frame members forming a support system for the clearspan structure, and fabric roof portions and walls for enclosing the clearspan structure.
STRUCTURAL SYSTEM OF STEEL PLATES AND WALLS WITH BIOCLIMATIC AND ACOUSTIC APPLICATION
The structural system of steel walls and plates with bioclimatic and sound application relates to the creation of a general structure of buildings, walls, roofs and soils with thermal and sound isolation from an earthquake-resistant steel structure of hollow beams and columns complemented with walls and plates in oval piping made of steel, which may be installed both vertically and horizontally with their own fixation means in a building for air recirculation, with interconnected and addressed tubular structures which contain thermal and sound isolation materials controlling airflow in the to modify the weather and/or sound conditions inside the building.
Multi angle roof truss tie-down apparatus and method
The present invention relates to a roof truss tie-down apparatus including a pin and bracket engagement which enables a wall frame to accommodate any style of roof truss at any angle, and a method of constructing such a roof frame.
TENSILE MEMBRANE STRUCTURE BUILDING SYSTEM
A tensile membrane structure building system (10) including several standard extruded structural members (12) of the same cross-sectional profile. These standard structural members (12) have a rectangular cross-sectional profile with four sides (50.1-50.4) oriented at right angles to each other at four corners (52.1-52.4), each side including formations that define at least one channel (54) extending along a length of the structural members. By means of fasteners (80) that cooperate with the channels, standard structural members may be interlocked so as to form a framework (14). Each side of the standard structural member also include two slots (58) located on either side of the channel or channels towards the corners, the slots configured to receive and hold an edge of a membrane (16).
BUILDING CONSTRUCTION
A building is constructed from a plurality of rectangular wall sections secured to one another. At least some wail sections are formed of an upper and a lower beam, vertical studs extending between the upper and lower beams and a wall panel secured to the beams and to the studs. In the invention, each beam is formed of an elongate metal sheet folded through a right angle about at least one longitudinally extending line to define at least a horizontal first plate, and a vertical second. A plurality of separately formed sheet metal brackets are secured to at least one of the plates of the folded metal sheet at preset distances from one another along the length of the beam and secured to the ends of the studs.
Tapered truss
A tapered truss is provided. In one embodiment, the truss has a pair of base members configured to be attached to a top surface of a vertical support member. The truss may further have an upper pair of truss members and a lower pair of truss members. Each upper truss member each forms an acute angle with a respective base member and each lower truss member forms an obtuse angle from the respective base member such that the lower truss member is not parallel to the upper truss member. The truss may additionally include a ceiling joist member connected to each of the lower truss members. In one embodiment, the ceiling joist member is substantially parallel to the pair of base members.
SYSTEM FOR CREATING JUNCTIONS FOR TUBULAR STRUCTURES
The system relates to a system for creating junctions for tubular structures. The system is based on provided a plurality of junctions (7) which are different from each other, formed by pairs of profiles (2) or (2a) or (2) or (2) or (2) secured to each other to form the corresponding junction (7) and to be able to mount and join tubular arms (1) that will form the actual structure. Said tubular arms can be longitudinally aligned, can form a right angle between each other, can form T-shaped configurations, and can meet at junctions with four tubular arms (1), junctions with five tubular arms (1), and junctions with even more arms, in order to allow any type of structure for different constructions, both in terms of buildings and in terms of furniture, inter alia.
QUICK INSTALLATION STRUCTURE FOR SUNROOM AND SUNROOM
A quick installation structure for a sunroom and a sunroom are provided, where the quick installation structure includes: a connecting rod; a crossbeam providing with a first connecting unit and a second connecting unit; a connector connected to the connecting rod and including a locking portion, a pushing portion, and an actuating portion. The pushing portion matches with the locking portion, the actuating portion is connected to the locking portion and controls its movement. The locking portion is subjected by the pushing portion during movement and switches between a first state and a second state; the first connecting unit and the second connecting unit are extended to two sides of the crossbeam, both the first connecting unit and the second connecting unit include a connecting portion, which includes a first wall portion and a second wall portion.
Basic unit, infrastructure facility and infrastructure system
In order to provide a base unit, in particular a base unit for an infrastructure device, which on the one hand can be produced in a straightforward and cost-effective manner and on the other hand is visually pleasing and can withstand vandalism attempts, it is proposed that the base unit should comprise a plurality of support elements and one or more roof elements arranged on the support elements, wherein the support elements and/or the one or more roof elements are arranged, and designed, such that the one or more roof elements are, or can be, arranged so as to be spaced apart from a floor or ground surface by the supporting elements, wherein the base unit comprises water drainage and/or cable routing and/or a lighting region and/or roof elements arranged obliquely in relation to the direction of gravitational force.
STRUCTURE SYSTEMS, STRUCTURES WITH INTEGRATED SOLAR RACKING SYSTEMS, POST AND FRAME COMPONENTS, AND RELATED METHODS
The present subject matter relates to structure systems, including structures with integrated solar racking systems, frame systems, post and frame components, and related methods. In particular, the present subject matter relates to posts and frame components that form a frame system that can be used to support a roofing system. The frame system and roofing system can forma structure system. The roofing systems can include integrated solar panels in the roofing structure and/or support the use of insulated roofing panels for non-solar applications to form a roofing system for a building, a structure, or a canopy.
