An element for thermal insulation between two building parts, including an insulating body to be arranged between the two building parts and reinforcement elements in the form of at least tensile elements, extending in the installed state of the element essentially horizontally and perpendicularly to the essentially horizontal extension of the insulating body through said body, and respectively projecting in the horizontal direction from the insulating body and here allowing a connection to one of the two building parts preferably made from concrete. The tensile reinforcement elements are formed as multi-part composite elements such that at least in the area of the insulating body they exhibit a central section projecting from the insulating body and at least partially being made from fiber-reinforced synthetic material. The tensile reinforcement elements have in an area outside the insulating body at least one anchoring section with geometric and/or material characteristics at least partially deviating from the central section, with the anchoring section being connected to the central section in a connection area. The connection area is arranged distanced from the insulating body. The central section is made from a cylindrical rod-shaped and/or tubular material and is provided on its radial exterior, at least in an area between the insulating body and the connection area, with an essentially smooth wall.

An element for thermal insulation between two building parts, particularly between a building (A) and a protruding exterior part (B), comprising an insulating body (2) to be arranged between the two building parts and reinforcement elements in the form of at least tensile elements (3), extending in an installed state of the element (10) essentially horizontally and perpendicular to an essentially horizontal extension of the insulating body through said body, and respectively projecting in the horizontal direction from the insulating body and here allowing a connection to one of the two building parts preferably made from concrete.

An insulated interlocking superblock assembly enables the quick and convenient construction and support of structural elements of a building. At least one all-structure is utilized to construct a wall for the building. The wall-structure includes a planar base body, a first lining, a second lining, and a plurality of interlocking features. The planar base body is constructed out of a plurality of blocks. Further, the plurality of blocks is arranged into a grid pattern to form a continuous planar structure. A corresponding feature from the plurality of features engages an arbitrary block to an adjacent block, thereby allowing the planar base body to be rapidly erected. The first lining is attached along a first lengthwise edge of the planar base body. Similarly, the second lining is attached along a second lengthwise edge of the planar base body, thereby allowing the attachment of the ceiling and the floor.

An apparatus includes a monolithic retaining wall formed by combinable modular retaining wall blocks. Each of the combinable modular retaining wall blocks defines (A) vertical grooves extending along a vertical direction, and (B) horizontal grooves extending along a horizontal direction. This is done in such a way that the monolithic retaining wall, which is formed by the combinable modular retaining wall blocks, defines (A) spaced-apart instances of the vertical channels extending vertically through the monolithic retaining wall, and (B) spaced-apart instances of the horizontal channels extending horizontally through the monolithic retaining wall, in which at least some of the spaced-apart instances of the horizontal channels intersect at least some of the spaced-apart instances of the vertical channels.

The present invention relates to a method for replacing a conventional mold construction, and includes a plate-shaped outer insulating material, an inner plywood (or a board-shaped finishing material), a connection unit, and a lightweight temporary material. According to the present invention, a wall is constructed by connecting the inner plywood to the lightweight temporary material from a corner foundation surface and by laying bricks. Reinforcement bars are placed after an interior wall is constructed and arranged to cross each other or to align with each other as instructed in a design specification. Then, an exterior wall is installed corresponding to the connection unit connected to the inner plywood. As a result, a wall having a thermal bridge prevention effect and a higher quality is obtained. Either dry finish or a wet finish is applicable to the wall.

A loose-fill granular insulation blowing machine includes a main body having an internal frame and a hopper chamber that is positioned along the top end of the main body. A grate is positioned beneath the hopper and a dispensing chamber is located along the bottom end of the main body. A funnel section is interposed between the grate and the dispensing chamber, and a valve is positioned along the bottom of the funnel. An agitator having a motorized central shaft and a plurality of paddles is positioned within the dispenser chamber. A blower having an inlet is positioned along one side of the dispenser chamber and an outlet is positioned along the opposite side of the dispenser chamber. A plurality of air diffusers are positioned within the dispenser chamber. Each of the diffusers are in communication with an air coupler that is removably secured to an air compressor.

A concrete wall frame assembly and a method of manufacturing same is disclosed. The assembly includes two generally parallel metal plates and at least one rod extending between a first end and a second end. A first end of the rod is passed through a hole in the second plate toward the first plate until the first end engages a continuous inner surface of the first plate. The second end of the rod protrudes through the hole and extends past an outer surface of the second plate. A stud welder is connected to the either the second, protruding end of the rod, or connected to the rod between the two metal plates to stud weld the first rod end to the inner surface of the first plate. The second end of the rod is then arc welded to the second metal plate at the outer surface.
