The present invention relates to a concrete channel assembly configured to prevent ingress of concrete into the concrete insert channel during construction. The concrete insert channel assembly includes a concrete insert channel having a plurality of anchor hooks, a plurality of base openings, first and second open ends, and a bottom opening, a plurality of sealing caps having a sealing cap body and a sealing support rib with the sealing support rib integrally connected to the sealing cap body, first and second end caps configured to removably mount and seal the first and second open ends, respectively, and a closure strip configured to slidably mount and seal the bottom opening. Each of the plurality of seal caps is configured to removably mount and seal each of the plurality of base openings of the concrete insert channel.

Curtain wall mullion anchoring systems for resisting dead load and negative wind load, and that permit three-way construction tolerance adjustments. The mullion anchoring systems include an anchoring device secured to a building structural element and attached to a mullion connection bridge, which is connected to a mullion connection clip, which is connected to a mullion. Uplifting forces on the anchoring device may be significantly reduced or even eliminated by transmitting dead load under negative wind load conditions from the mullion to the anchoring device at a point over the inside of a concrete floor slab, such that the dead load counteracts any uplifting force generated by the negative wind load.

A modular panel system including a plurality of posts where each post includes a front face, a rear face, and opposed lateral faces. A central channel is formed in the front face where the central channel has a linking opening, a first ledge and a second ledge. Cutouts are formed in the ledges. The rear face includes a panel receiving channel that receives an edge of a panel. A linking element is configured to be secured in the linking opening. The head of the linking element is sized to fit within the first and the second cutouts and be secured by the first and second ledges to couple the first post to the second post. The lateral faces of the coupled posts together form a first side central channel and a first side central channel cutout that is configured to receive a second linking element to couple a third post to the coupled first and second posts.

Attaching QR codes or other identification codes to an anchor rail and to associated components such as hammerhead bolts and attachments and to check with the aid of, for example, a smartphone as an optoelectronic reader whether the components belong to the anchor rail.

The invention teaches a technology to connect attachments with building structures using a connector pad. The connector pad invented for this purpose allows the compensation of construction tolerances and strengthening of the building structure at the connection point.

Apparatus are provided for a curtain wall anchor system. The curtain wall anchor assembly may include various anchor configurations. Each anchor embodiment is intended to reduce labor time and costs and eliminate extraneous steps in the construction process involving curtain walls. Each possible anchor assembly also features an optional component of attaching a concrete anchor for optimizing load paths and solving issues of bending in traditional edge angle pour stops.

A plurality of panel subassemblies are used to erect a building on a footing or foundation. Each panel subassembly includes at least one column formed of a thermally-insulating material, and a concrete portion at least partially attached to the at least one column. The concrete portion may be formed as a single precast unit. The panel subassemblies are secured together and to the foundation, and may be secured to a floor element of the building to at least partially support the floor element.

Curtain wall mullion anchoring systems for resisting dead load and negative wind load, and that permit three-way construction tolerance adjustments. The mullion anchoring systems include an anchoring device secured to a building structural element and attached to a mullion connection bridge, which is connected to a mullion connection clip, which is connected to a mullion. Uplifting forces on the anchoring device may be significantly reduced or even eliminated by transmitting dead load under negative wind load conditions from the mullion to the anchoring device at a point over the inside of a concrete floor slab, such that the dead load counteracts any uplifting force generated by the negative wind load.

An adjustable location anchor with a greatly increased strength having wide versatility regarding the types of straps or attachments which are usable therewith. The invention includes an extended housing having an interior cavity which includes a main slot and which can include a pair of anterior flanges or wings, wherein the extended housing can be placed into the uncured concrete such that it is rigidly embedded therein upon curing. A sliding insert can then be provided within the interior cavity being configured to slide along a slot formed thereby. The extended housing can also have one or more reinforcement attachment means for connecting to existing concrete reinforcement structures.

A high-strength partition top anchor and anchoring system is disclosed. The high-strength partition top anchor is a dynamic anchor that provides resistance to wall and deck separation during periods of high lateral forces. The partition top anchor is set within a slip tube embedded within the upper most portion of a partition or masonry wall and interconnected with a channel affixed to an overlying slab or deck structure.
