Screen device in which two beams (1, 2) in the mounted state of the screen device are mutually coupled with the aid of: a first coupling piece (3), comprising a first mounting cavity (4) for the fitting herein of a first part of the first beam (1); and a second mounting cavity (5) for the fitting herein of a first part of the second beam (2); and a second coupling piece (6), comprising a first mounting cavity (7) for the fitting herein of a second part of the first beam (1), extending opposite the first part; and a second mounting cavity (8) for the fitting herein of a second part of the second beam (2), extending opposite the first part.

Certain exemplary embodiments can provide a two piece bracket constructed to reinforce a wooden joist. The wooden joist defines a central aperture. The central aperture is constructed to substantially surround a portion of a utility conduit passing therethrough. The two piece bracket is constructed to be positioned against one side of the wooden joist. The two piece bracket comprises a first piece and a second piece.

An engineered wood structural system including multiple vertical structural elements (10) and multiple horizontal structural elements (20, 120) wherein multiple horizontal structural elements (20, 120) of the same floor level are laterally adjacent slabs connected to each other through a perimetral region of the upper horizontal board of one slab attached to a perimetral region of the upper horizontal board of other laterally adjacent slab directly, through complementary staggered steps or through a joint connector, to transfer horizontal loads.

A structural element for constructions, which works as a beam when placed horizontally and as a column when placed vertically, meant to be used in the field of constructions on light structure, for exterior or interior walls, bridgings etc. The structural element includes a top timber chord, a bottom timber chord with two parallel timber panels in between connected together at 90? through a series of galvanized steel staples.

A beam (P) for a construction element for a wood-framed structure is disclosed. The beam comprises two longitudinal members (P1) which extend longitudinally parallel with, and at a distance from, each other. Each of the longitudinal members comprises an external face (P2) and an internal face (P3). The respective internal faces of the longitudinal members face each other. The beam is closed by closing panels (P5, P5) which bear against the transverse sides of the longitudinal members. The external face of at least one of the longitudinal members is provided with at least one longitudinal groove for receiving a sealing strip which is suitable for providing a seal between the beam and another element, for example a counter-bracing panel of the structure incorporating the beam. The beam allows a wood-framed structure, such as a house or a building, to be constructed while ensuring that the building is completely sealed as soon as it is constructed.

An engineered wood structural system including multiple vertical structural elements (10) and multiple horizontal structural elements (20, 120), wherein multiple horizontal structural elements (20, 120) of the same floor level are supported on the same structural node and are rigidly connected to each other through an upper connector (40) at least partially overlapped, and attached, to all the horizontal structural elements (20, 120) supported in the structural node to transfer horizontal traction loads between the upper horizontal boards (21) of the connected horizontal structural elements (20, 120).

A sustainable building material and system comprising of panels with alternatively oriented spacers and with panel connectors, panel edges and composites thereof. It is manufactured from semi-material in two manufacturing operations; the first manufacturing the panels, panel connectors and edges and the second manufacturing sub-assembles or composite elements from these. The building material and system are suitable for manufacture and assembly at various levels of technology and investment, and are designed for efficiency in manufacture, transport and offsite and onsite assembly.

A bar element as a construction element includes strips preferably produced from bamboo and is hollow at least in certain regions. The hollow interior is formed at least in certain sections as a hollow fillet achieved by a plastic and/or resin introduced into the bar elements, using a shaped body movable through the interior. Producing bar elements from interconnected strips ensures that although produced from a natural raw material, the bar elements have a reproducible outer cross section. Using a shaped body movable through the interior to produce the inner cross section also ensures a defined inner cross section of the bar elements, with the result that in turn connections between a plurality of bar elements that are defined by suitable connection elements can be formed. In this way, the bar elements make it possible to produce lattice works, grid constructions, frameworks or other desired structures and/or three-dimensional bodies.

Screen device in which two beams (1, 2) in the mounted state of the screen device are mutually coupled with the aid of:a first coupling piece (3), comprising a first mounting cavity (4) for the fitting herein of a first part of the first beam (1); and a second mounting cavity (5) for the fitting herein of a first part of the second beam (2);and a second coupling piece (6), comprising a first mounting cavity (7) for the fitting herein of a second part of the first beam (1), extending opposite the first part; and a second mounting cavity (8) for the fitting herein of a second part of the second beam (2), extending opposite the first part.

A structural component for use in building construction including a first support material member, a second support material member, an insulating material, and a first securing member. The first support material member may have a first length and a first edge. The second support material member may have a second length and a second edge and may oppose the first support material member. The insulating material may be disposed between the first support material member and the second support material member. The first securing member may be adapted to contact the first edge and the second edge.
