In one embodiment, a matrix of quasi-convergent adjacent pairs of support rods is employed. The structural truss modules may form part of a roof for a header or a structural wall.

The present invention relates to a modular assembly, a site factory, for at least partially enclosing a site during construction of a structure. The modular assembly comprising: a plurality of portal frames, each portal frame comprising two columns and a roof beam, each column and roof beam comprising a plurality of pre-assembled units; a jack-up frame for each column; at least two first rails, each of the first rails being mounted to at least one of the roof beams; at least one second rail slidably mounted to the at least two first rails; and a plurality of panels of a flexible material configured to provide a full enclosure of the site and mounted above the roof beam. The or each second rail is configured to slidably receive at least one lifting device. The pre-assembled units are configured to be connected on site, and lifted using said jack-up frames, to form the portal frames, and wherein each first rail, and the or each second rail are configured to be mounted on the portal frames on site.

The object of the invention is a connecting structure for mechanically connecting steel pipe profiles (1, 2, 3) to each other to form a truss structure, comprising at least one elongated frame beam (1) with a rectangular cross-section, to which several cross struts (2, 3) with a rectangular cross-section forming a truss structure and extending diagonally and/or perpendicularly with respect to the frame beam are connected. According to the invention, receiving openings (4, 5) are formed on one side (6) of the frame beam (1) for receiving one end (2a, 3a) of each cross strut (2, 3) into the frame beam. Fastening holes (12) and/or outlines thereof are formed in the region of the end (2a, 3a) of the cross strut (2, 3) extending into the frame beam (1), and corresponding fastening holes (12) and/or outlines thereof are formed on the sides (7, 8) of the frame beam (1) perpendicular to the side (6) having the receiving openings (4, 5). Guide holes (9, 9) are formed on the sides (7, 8) of the frame beam perpendicular to the side (6) having the receiving openings (4, 5) and equipped with at least one guide pin (10, 10) extending in the transverse direction of the frame beam. A guide groove (11, 11) extending in the longitudinal direction of the cross strut (2, 3) is formed at the end (2a, 3a) of the cross strut, which, in cooperation with said at least one guide pin (10, 10), positions the fastening holes (12) of the cross strut (2, 3) and the corresponding fastening holes (12) of the frame beam (1) in exact alignment, enabling fastening means (13) to be inserted precisely through the fastening holes (12, 12), thereby rigidly connecting the pipe profiles (1, 2, 3) to each other. A further object of the invention is a truss structure (16) utilizing the connecting structure.

A rigging table and system for assembling trusses using a rigging table. An embodiment of a rigging table includes a base having a generally longitudinal axis and a generally lateral extent, and at least two bunk assemblies moveable along the base in at least the generally longitudinal axis such that each bunk assembly is capable of being positioned on the base relative to another bunk assembly. Each bunk assembly may include a frame extending along the lateral extent of the base, a pair of guides slidably positioned on the frame to move generally transverse to the longitudinal axis of the base toward and away from each other and able to be fastened in position on the frame, and a pair of automated clamp members each positioned relative to and moveable with one of the guides on the frame, to accommodate assembly of different sized trusses.

A rotary joint includes an outer shell segment having the outer shape of a solid of revolution, the outer shell segment having a plurality of openings arranged in the outer surface; an inner shell segment having the outer shape of the solid of revolution of the outer shell segment, the inner shell segment being aligned concentrically with the outer shell segment and spaced apart from the outer shell segment by a compensation gap; and a plurality of strut holding fixtures, the strut holding fixtures having a hollow interior and a flange portion, wherein each of the strut holding fixtures is arranged in one of the plurality of openings and the flange portion extends within the compensation gap between the inner shell segment and the outer shell segment in each case.

The present set of inventions relates to the field of building and in particular to building constructions and to processes for manufacturing building constructions comprising tensioned and non-tensioned tendons and can be used to construct residential, public and office buildings and constructions as well as for reconditioning or restoring the same.

The technical result consists of the provision of relatively long-extended constructions or complicated shape constructions working as a single pre-tensioned construction and characterized by high carrying capacity, stability and rigidity.

Said technical result is obtained by the fact that in a multi-component building member comprising at least two components and pre-tensioned tendons, each component is made as a tendons module comprising an initial and a final supporting elements with holes for the pre-tensioned tendons and with a stand for placing anchors and tensioning arrangements; and a reinforcing cage located between said supporting elements and comprising an upper and a lower elements in the form of a grid with a cellular structure, the cells having the shape of an equilateral polyhedron, and at least one median element under the form of a space reinforcement structure comprising inclined reinforcement bars forming equilateral polyhedral pyramids oppositely oriented in space, the pre-tensioned tendons of the first component being anchored at the initial and final supporting elements of the same, the pre-tensioned tendons of each following component being anchored at the final elements of the previous and the current components.

Said technical result is obtained as well by the fact that in a process for assembling the multi-component building member, the median, the upper and the lower components of the tendons module are preassembled, attached between the initial and the final supporting elements, the tendons are inserted and then pre-tensioned, wherein, starting with the second tendons module of the construction, the anchor of the pre-tensioned tendons is mounted on the final supporting element of the previous tendons module, whereas a tensioning arrangement is mounted on the final supporting element of the pre-tensioned tendons module.

The invention relates to a structural element. In an embodiment, the structural element includes a stiff, elongate tubular member, wherein an inner surface of the tubular member and side faces enclose a core extending along at least a length of the tubular member, wherein the core is provided with a fluid under pressure. The invention furthermore relates to a method for hoisting a stiff, elongate tubular member.

The present invention relates to a truss structure member having an assembly hole with a tapered extension portion and a structure using same, and provides a truss structure member and a structure, the truss structure member being capable of enabling a truss structure member and a truss structure member or a truss structure member and a connection member to be firmly fastened to each other without clearance even when a gap is generated between a fastening tool and the assembly hole.
