A concrete embeddable mount for a ledge is provided having a plate with a plurality of keyhole slots therein, four anchors extending from the back of the plate, for embedding the mount in a precast concrete component, wherein the anchors define vertices of a convex quadrilateral, and a fifth anchor extending from the back of the plate, wherein the fifth anchor is positioned within the convex quadrilateral defined by the four anchors. The invention further includes a ledge having a back plate and a perpendicular base extending from the back plate, wherein the back plate has a plurality of rearward extending studs aligned to engage the keyhole slots in the mount plate. Together, the mount and the ledge create a corbel system.

A wood or manufactured wood-composite based siding used on concrete wall or concrete masonry unit (CMU, or block) construction (including, but not limited to, insulated concrete form construction) with an integrated rainscreen feature. The rainscreen feature or component is applied to, or integrated into or with, the back of the siding (i.e., the inner surface) during the manufacturing process, or in a secondary process thereafter. The features may include raised elements, strips or ridges from approximately 1/16 to approximately inches tall, with one or more channels or spaces. No job-site assembly is required, thereby reducing time and cost.

Provided are a mounting member and a building wall structure that allow a mounting operation to be performed with ease. A mounting member 10 can be equipped with an abutment member 30. The mounting member 10 includes a substrate portion 11, a wall portion 12, a protruding portion 13, a supporting portion 14, a first locking portion 15, and a second locking portion 16. The wall portion 12 protrudes from one side edge 11A of the substrate portion 11 relative to the substrate portion 11. The protruding portion 13 protrudes from the other side edge 11B side of the substrate portion 11 to the same side as the wall portion 12, and has a length L13 of protrusion from the substrate portion 11 shorter than the length of protrusion of the wall portion 12 from the substrate portion 11. The abutment member 30 includes a mounting portion 31 that can be fixed onto at least one of the substrate portion 11 and substantially the same plane 8P as the substrate portion 11 from the protruding portion 13 side, an erect piece 32 that is provided erecting in a direction intersecting the mounting portion 31, and that protrudes toward the side opposite to the substrate portion 11, and a clamping portion 33 that is formed as a single piece with the mounting portion 31, and that is capable of clamping the protruding portion 13 from a direction intersecting the substrate portion 11.

An assembly for coupling polyethylene or similar sheeting to a suspended ceiling system to form a temporary curtain barrier. A first component has a pointed shaft configured to pierce through the sheeting, and a pair of opposing jaws configured to grip opposing edges of a T-shaped rail of the ceiling system. A second component is configured to engage the shaft of the first component to lock the first component to the tee and trap the sheeting impaled on the shaft.

A shelf angle suitable for supporting a brick veneer is attached to a building wall by way of plural spacer members each comprising inner and outer plates joined by a web of material. The spacer member may comprise a tube or c-section for example. Thermally insulating sheets are compressed between the shelf angle and the spacer member and/or between the spacer member and the building wall. The spacer members are spaced apart along the shelf angle.

A brick tie including a body member, a first protrusion extending from a first location on the body member, and a second protrusion extending from a second location on the body member. The first and second protrusions may extend in the same direction relative to the body member. A gap may be defined between the first and second protrusions.
