A construction element includes at least one module with a rectangular parallelepiped shape, hollow and made of a composite material. The module is delimited by an enclosure with four panels, two first opposing parallel panels and two second panels perpendicular to the first panels. The second panels include at least one groove parallel to the first panels. Each second panel is extended on one side by an L-shaped profile and on the other side by a flat profile. The profiles are elements protruding outwards, parallel to the groove.

A facade system for a building structure, the system comprising: at least one spandrel wall panel securable in a vertical orientation to an outer edge of a corresponding horizontal floor slab of the building structure, the at least one spandrel panel including an outer shell and an internal frame disposed within the outer shell; and a plurality of vision wall panels, each vision wall panel being translucent to allow visible light to pass therethrough, the vision wall panels being distinct from the at least one spandrel wall panel and being mountable vertically and side-by-side on an upper spandrel panel end of the at least one spandrel wall panel, the internal frame of the at least one spandrel panel being sufficiently rigid to allow the vision wall panels to be supported solely by the spandrel wall panel.

A frame supported, ribbed foam composite panel comprised of a cladding or sheathing cover with a polyurethane foam bonded to its backside and ribs extending from its backside and and the foam bonds the panel to frame members to further stiffen the panel. The ribs also prevent a panel with a weaker cover from warping and when several panels are bonded together with the same foam the panels have structural continuity.

A wall panel is provided that can be prefabricated and pre-assembled, and can be easily and quickly installed in the field. The wall panel includes an exterior infill component, an interior structural component, and a frame. The frame includes a first jamb member, a second jamb member, a head member, and a sill member. A wall system is provided comprising a plurality of wall panels. A method of installing the wall panel system and a method of assembling the wall panel are also provided.

A curtain-wall anchor includes a back member having a first arcuate slotted aperture and a second aperture formed therein. The first arcuate slotted aperture receives a first mounting bolt and the second aperture receives a second mounting bolt. A first plurality of vertically-oriented ridges are formed in the back member proximate the first arcuate slotted aperture and the second aperture. A first locking washer is received onto the first mounting bolt. The first locking washer includes a second plurality of vertically-oriented ridges that are complementary to the first plurality of vertically-oriented ridges formed in the back member. The first arcuate slotted aperture facilitates angular adjustment of the back member. Engagement of the second plurality of vertically-oriented ridges with the first plurality of vertically-oriented ridges facilitates securement of the back member in a select angular position.

A process for assembling a fire-, smoke-, sound- and/or water-proof system within a dynamic curtain wall faade uses a tubular sealing element containing a thermally resistant flexible foam material for insulating and sealing.

An exterior wall system includes a pair of split vertical members. A front-load bay is defined between the pair of split vertical members. The front-load bay includes a horizontal member disposed along a bottom edge of the front-load bay. Each split vertical member includes a removable portion coupled to a vertical edge of the front-load bay and a fixed portion coupled to an adjacent section of the exterior wall system. The removable portion may be selectively coupled to the fixed portion to facilitate assembly of the front-load bay to the adjacent section of the exterior wall system. A sill starter is disposed horizontally between the pair of split vertical members below the front-load bay. The horizontal member engages with the sill starter to facilitate support of the front-load bay.

An L-bracket is provided to support manufacturered wall panels in a wall system. The L-bracket is attached to structural support members, such as floors, or hollow structural sections, so that any deflections in the floor system are accommodated in the wall panels. Each wall panel may be pre-fabricated to include shealthing, air/vapor barrier and insulation. Fasteners attach the shealthing of the wall panels to the L-bracket. Tape or strips may be applied between adjoining panels to provide a continuous air/vapor barrier for the wall system, and gaps in the insulation layer allows the air/vapor barrier to be sealed and inspected.
