An insulation system for hanging insulation in a truss is disclosed and includes a first rail configured to be installed on a first truss and a second rail configured to be installed on a second truss spaced apart from the first truss. A first cavity is established between the first rail and the second rail. Further, the first cavity is configured to receive and engage a first insulation batt.

The present invention relates to a composite beam in which a fabricated truss is embedded in the concrete, and more particularly, it relates to a composite beam in which the fabricated truss acts as a truss beam which endures the concrete weight and the construction load in the liquid phase before the curing of the concrete and acts as a main structural member together with the concrete after the curing of the concrete.

A truss comprising a plurality of longitudinally extending frame members, which, when secured together, have a substantially rectangular configuration, the truss having vertically and horizontally extending members connecting each other, the connections being mechanical, and a plurality of diagonally extending members.

A load-bearing wall can be provided with a header comprising engineered wood web manufactured truss can be provided over the opening of the load-bearing wall. Insulation can be applied to the open areas of the truss to increase the thermal resistance of the header. The portion of the load-bearing wall can be constructed as a manufactured wall panel and incorporated with traditional stick framing. The manufactured wall panel can include straps to facilitate lifting, transporting and installation of the panels.

A joint connector ring includes a connector body formed as a hollow cylinder defining a hollow surrounding a connector opening, and an annular groove formed in a top surface of the cylindrical connector body as a trench running circumferentially around the cylindrical connector body and having an approximately constant depth within the connector body.

A trussed structure comprising a frame and at least one strut, wherein the frame is of composite material and includes sockets which are integral with the frame. The invention also provides a process of making the trussed structures. The struts are typically of composite material and the trussed structures of the invention are particularly suitable for use in aircraft, for example, as wing ribs or floor beams.

A bracket (1) for holding a suspended ceiling has a first end (2) for anchoring the bracket (1) to a beam or the like of a building structure and a second end (3) to which a mounting profile is attachable on which a building panel is mountable. The bracket (1) has a rectangular and flat part (4) that in use is horizontally arranged between the first and second ends (2, 3). The length (L) of the flat part (4) between the first and second ends (2, 3) is at least 1.5 times as long as the width (W) of the flat part (4).
