An anchor bolt fastener assembly with specialized connection capabilities and features for attaching building components to concrete slabs, walls, ceilings, and/or structural surfaces. Compression force can be established and maintained over time using a compression washer in combination with a specialized fastener stud that is designed to exploit the compression washer benefits. Methods of using exemplary embodiments include installing the anchor bolt fastener assembly relatively flush with the surface of the concrete slurry by direct insertion in the slurry using a specialized threaded anchor bolt float. Once the slurry hardens, the anchor bolt and anchor bolt float embedded in the concrete slurry cooperate with the specialized fastener stud to secure the building component to the concrete.

The present invention provides an assembling structure of prefabricated concrete components. The sleeve includes a non-grout connection section and a grout connection section. The steel frame includes an inner barbed structure and an outer barbed structure. The diameter of the channel surrounded by a plurality of inner barbed structures is smaller than the diameter of the second to-be-connected steel bar. The diameter of the contour surrounded by a plurality of outer barbed structures is larger than the diameter of the inner chamber of the grout connection section. The alignment device includes a lower bearer and an upper bearer. The upper bearer and lower bearer are both electromagnets. The same magnetic poles of the upper bearer and the lower bearer are oppositely arranged, and the upper bearer and the lower bearer are connected in series in the same circuit.

A floor plate for a building having a vertical support core is described, and includes first and second girders arranged in parallel and slidably disposed on opposed sides of the vertical support core. Each of the first and second girders includes a vertically-oriented web portion and a flange portion. The floor plate also includes a plurality of framing members, wherein each of the framing members includes a medial beam attached to first and second cantilevered beams. The medial beams are disposed between the first and second girders. The first and second cantilevered beams are threaded through apertures of the first and second girders and joined to the respective medial beam, and define first and second cambers. The first and second cambers are selected to achieve a flat horizontal surface on an upper surface of the floor plate when the floor plate is fixedly attached to the vertical support core.

A corbel for a wall including a corbel sleeve having a longitudinal passage for extending into the wall. At least one upright or vertically oriented elongate reinforcement member can be secured to the corbel sleeve and extend upwardly and downwardly therefrom for structurally engaging internal portions within the wall for structurally supporting the corbel sleeve. A corbel extension can have an insertion end and a support end. The insertion end can be inserted into the longitudinal passage of the corbel sleeve and secured therein. The support end can extend from the corbel sleeve and the wall, for example laterally, for supporting a load applied thereon.

The same magnetic poles of the upper bearer and the lower bearer are oppositely arranged, and the upper bearer and the lower bearer are connected in series in the same circuit.

A barrier cable coupler for coupling two lengths of barrier cable comprises a coupler body including a threaded inner surface, a first end, and a second end; a fixed retaining collar having an outer surface and being retained to the first end of the coupler body, the fixed retaining collar including a tapered inner surface; one or more fixed end wedges positioned within the tapered inner surface of the fixed retaining collar; a tensioning retaining collar having an outer surface, the tensioning retaining collar positioned at least partially within the second end of the coupler body and including a tapered inner surface; one or more tensioning end wedges positioned within the tapered inner surface of the tensioning retaining collar; and a tensioning nut including a threaded outer surface engaging the threaded inner surface of the second end of the coupler body and retaining the tensioning retaining collar therein.

Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a load transfer plate and load transfer plate pocket that co-act to transfer vertical or substantially vertical loads from one concrete slab to the adjacent slab in an enhanced manner by optimizing the positions of the load transfer plate relative to the adjacent concrete slabs for load transfers between the adjacent concrete slabs.

A concrete anchor assembly includes a housing including a lower opening and a side wall; a flange portion extending from the housing; a ramp surface extending upwardly around the lower opening; a split body disposed over the lower opening, the split body including a bottom surface engaging the ramp surface, the split body including a threaded opening. The housing includes a gap between the split body and the side wall. A compressed spring forces the split body toward a bottom of the ramp surface.

A floor dowel sleeve has a body portion with a top wall, a bottom wall, two side walls, and an end wall that together to surround an interior cavity. The interior cavity is configured to receive a dowel plate at an opening in the body portion opposite the end wall. Spacing elements are disposed at each of the two side walls and are configured to interface with opposing edges of the dowel plate to provide a space between the dowel plate and interior surfaces of the two side walls. The spacing elements each have a pair of legs that integrally protrude from the side wall into the interior cavity and interconnect to form a spacing chamber. The spacing elements are each configured to flex into the spacing chamber upon lateral horizontal movement of the dowel plate within the interior cavity.

A joist pocket assembly and a method for manufacturing a joist pocket assembly is described herein. In some embodiments, the joist pocket assembly can include a frame configured to be mounted within a cut-out in a wall. In some embodiments, the joist pocket assembly can include a base of the frame, where the base can be configured to receive a structural member of a joist. In some embodiments, the joist pocket assembly can include a flange extending from a perimeter of the frame, where the flange can cover a gap between the frame and the wall. In some embodiments, the joist pocket assembly can include a first stud coupled to the base of the frame, where the first stud can secure the frame to the wall. In some embodiments, the joist pocket assembly can be placed in a concrete tilt wall or concrete precast wall.
