There is provided a prefabricated floor panel (101) for use with a supporting structure (103) including a floor member (105) the floor member (105) defining a floor surface (107) and being adapted to engage with an adjacent similar floor panel (101) and at least one or more strengthening beams (109) configured to engage with the supporting structure (103) in use to support the prefabricated floor panel (101).

Reinforcement element for being positioned within a cast to elastically withstand tensile loads thereon, said reinforcement element comprising a plane sheet- or plate-shaped body of at least one row of consecutively coupled ring-shaped portions.

Improved tilt-up and precast construction panels and improved methods for creating the same address deficiencies in the current tilt-up and precast construction panels. Improved tilt-up and precast construction panels use less concrete and less steel reinforcement and weigh less than current tilt-up and precast construction panels. Additionally, improved tilt-up and precast construction panels have greater insulative properties (both heat and sound) than do current tilt-up and precast construction panels. Improved tilt-up and precast construction panels require less labor on the construction site, thereby increasing efficiency and profitability of construction crews. Additional advantages of implementations of the invention will become apparent through the following description and by practice of implementations of the invention.

A structural mesh for floors and pavements comprises two types of rods. The first rods are rods with zig-zag bends, placed vertically, and the second rods are straight, of different length than the first and placed in a vertical way. These second rods are joined by welding to each vertex of the rods that go in a zig-zag, one at the top and the other at the bottom. The second straight rods comprise different degrees of inclination of the zig-zag rods. Some of the second straight rods go in the upper part and others in the lower part and go in the opposite direction from each other, being in the shape of a rhombus, when viewed from the ground. The second rods are within a concrete slab integrated with the first zig-zag rods, the second straight rods, the upper and lower linings, and the saddles.

A mesh (12) is made of a composite material having fibers. The fibers are mutually arranged to form a weft (14) and a warp (16). The weft (14) includes at least one weft yarn (142) which has at least one fiber. The warp (16) includes at least one warp yarn (162) which has at least one fiber. In the mesh made of a composite material (12), the weft (14) and the warp (16) are mutually connected at intersection points (18) by interlacing (20).

The disclosure relates to an apparatus (1) for applying a hardening building material against a formwork (2) for manufacturing a solid, load-bearing construction (3), for example a wall of a building, having at least one spray nozzle (4) for spraying the building material in a spraying direction (5), a manipulator (6) which guides the at least one spray nozzle (4) and provides the spraying direction (5), wherein the manipulator (6) is mounted on a movable carriage (7), wherein the formwork (2) is formed by a formwork panel (8) which can be moved together with the carriage (7) and is positioned relative to the spray nozzle (4) in the spraying direction (5) and is oriented substantially transversely to the spraying direction (5). The disclosure also relates to a recess formwork system (25), a reinforcement mat (46), a fastening element (51) and a method for manufacturing a solid, load-bearing construction (3), for example a wall of a building, from a hardening building material.

A system including a reinforcement positioner having a body with a longitudinally-extending spine and a plurality of legs coupled to the spine along a length thereof and at least partially extending away from the spine. The positioner further includes an opening or recess positioned in the body, and a clip configured to be received and retained in the opening or recess.
