Disclosed herein is a system for fastening an anchor in a borehole in a mineral substrate, in particular concrete, mortar or masonry, comprising an anchor having a core section and a thread section, and a grooving tool for grooving an internal thread in the borehole, the grooving tool comprising the following: a base body having a leading and a trailing end, a force application device being provided, via which a torque for screwing the grooving tool into the borehole and for grooving the thread is transmitted to the base body, the base body having an outer surface on which a grooving thread is formed, which is suitable for grooving the internal thread into the wall of the borehole, the following applying to the ratio of the length h.sub.eff of the thread section of the anchor and the nominal diameter d.sub.b of the borehole: h.sub.eff/d.sub.b≥10.0, preferably ≥12.0, particularly preferably ≥15.0, and in particular ≥30.0.

The invention relates to a system for securing an anchor in a borehole in a mineral substrate, in particular concrete, mortar, or brickwork, comprising an anchor with a core section and a threaded section and comprising a furrowing tool for furrowing an internal thread in the borehole, wherein the furrowing tool comprises the following: a main part with a leading end and a trailing end, said main part having an outer surface on which a furrowing thread is formed that is suitable for furrowing the internal thread into the wall of the borehole. The outer surface of the main part is equipped with a plurality of elevations, each of which has a cutting edge, and all of the cutting edges lie at least partly on an imaginary cylinder with a diameter (do). The cutting edges are suitable for at least partially removing the inner wall of the borehole when the furrowing tool is rotated into the borehole in order to adapt the internal wall of the borehole to the imaginary cylinder.

An adjustable railing post-to-substrate embed system for anchoring a railing post having a railing base with plural railing base anchor holes includes: a plate, having anchor holes; a plurality of nuts, a first end of each nut being arranged proximate a respective one of the anchor holes, the first end of each nut being configured to be selectively and removably threadingly engaged, via the respective anchor hole, with one selected from the group consisting of: respective upper protective bolts, and respective bolts of the railing base; and a plurality of anchors, each being configured to adjustably threadingly engage a second end of a respective one of the nuts, distal the respective anchor hole, each of the anchors being individually adjustable in length by threadable engagement with the second end of the respective one of the nuts.

An anchor rod support comprises a support having a floor and legs extending downwardly from the floor with openings between the legs; and the support including threads for attaching thereto an anchor rod.

Concrete coupling assembly comprises a base holder for being attached to a concrete forming surface, the base holder including a central opening; a coupler having one end disposed within the central opening, the coupler having an axis for being positioned substantially transverse to the forming surface, the coupler having first and second threaded bores through the one end for attachment of a threaded rod; and a separate anchor body threadedly attached to another end of the coupler.

A reinforced building wall comprises a foundation; an anchor rod extending from the foundation; a first stud wall disposed above the foundation, the first stud wall including a first bottom plate and a first top place; a second stud wall disposed above the first stud wall, the second stud wall including a second bottom plate and a second top plate; the first tie rod including first and second threaded end portions, the first end portion is operably connected to the anchor rod; a second tie rod including third and fourth threaded end portions, the third end portion is operably connected to the second end portion of the first tie rod; the second tie rod including an outer end portion operably attached to the second stud wall; an intermediate portion of the first tie rod is unthreaded and comprises at least about 75% of the length of the first tie rod; and an intermediate portion of the second tie rod is unthreaded and comprises at least about 75% of the length of the second tie rod.

An anchor holder for concrete decks comprises a body for being inserted into an opening in a metal deck, the body including an outside vertical wall and an opening for receiving an anchor. The body includes arms normally biased extending outwardly from the vertical wall, the arms being collapsible toward the body when the body is inserted into the opening in the metal deck and expanding outwardly after passing the opening to be disposed below the metal deck. A support is attached to the body, the support to engage a top surface of the metal deck to apply an upward force on the body and keep the collapsible arms engaged against an underside of the metal deck when the body is attached to the metal deck.

A prefabricated wall for a prefabricated building includes a concrete body and a rigid framework arranged inside the poured concrete body, the rigid framework comprises n longitudinally extending vertical rebars, with n being an integer greater than or equal to three; an upper end face and a lower end face of the prefabricated wall are formed with m mechanical connection portions at positions sharing the same axes as the vertical rebars, with m being an integer less than or equal to 2n; and the mechanical connection portions are all formed at end portions of the vertical rebars. An assembly structure for a prefabricated building is further provided. The assembly structure is formed by filling an assembly gap with an on-site poured layer after rebars are firmly connected at an overhead region between an upper-layer wall, a lower-layer wall and a floor slab by means of fastening components.

An adjustable railing post-to-substrate embed system for anchoring a railing post having a railing base with plural railing base anchor holes includes: a plate, having anchor holes; a plurality of nuts, a first end of each nut being arranged proximate a respective one of the anchor holes, the first end of each nut being configured to be selectively and removably threadingly engaged, via the respective anchor hole, with one selected from the group consisting of: respective upper protective bolts, and respective bolts of the railing base; and a plurality of anchors, each being configured to adjustably threadingly engage a second end of a respective one of the nuts, distal the respective anchor hole, each of the anchors being individually adjustable in length by threadable engagement with the second end of the respective one of the nuts.

A modular building system allows for quickly and easily erecting prefabricated wall panels on a building foundation at a construction site. The system allows for manufacturing and installing, at a high level, complete budding components, using steps that are highly repeatable and scalable, resulting in construction that is quick and efficient, and easily performed at many types and locations of construction sites. A system in accordance with the invention comprises a wad panel, a floor panel and a roof panel. The wad panel comprises a horizontal member supported along a bottom horizontal edge, and a plurality of vertical studs integral to the horizontal member and extending vertically downward from the horizontal member. A floor panel comprises a rail disposed rigidly fixed to the foundation and defining an enclosure to receive the plurality of vertical studs of the wall panel to thereby vertically position the wall panel upon the foundation.
