A system of construction that performs advanced prefabrication of columnsbeams type structure of buildings, prefabrication which results industrialization of this type of construction. The main development that allows this achievement in the same technical conditions, even better conditions than in the conventional system, is the massive use of braces as well vertically as horizontally. Such a building system is of special interest in areas where seismic risk is high because the building is very lightweight, constituted of a set of structurally self-sufficient units, heavily triangulated and therefore hardly deformable, all these at an affordable cost.

A boom clamp attachment has a gib frame, a boom quick-connect, a shaft arm axle, a shaft arm torque assembly, and at least one gib clamp assembly. The gib clamp assembly has a clamp support member having a first gib clamp at a first end and second gib clamp at a second end. The gib clamp has a fixed finger and a moveable finger, the moveable finger controlled via hydraulics. The boom clamp may hoist, tilt, and position an assembled section of panels.

An apparatus for connecting collar components to an elongate member is disclosed. The apparatus includes a frame structure having a central opening that is configured to receive an elongate member and that includes at least a first gripping station and a second gripping station. Each gripping station includes a reference surface and a clamp device that is configured to force a collar component against the reference surface. The first and second gripping stations are configured to control relative spatial location of a first collar component held by the first gripping station relative to a second collar component gripped by the second gripping station, prior to connecting the first and second collar components to the elongate member.

A positioning device and method for producing a construction material body. The positioning device holds and orients a reinforcement body consisting of a textile reinforcement within a formwork. The positioning device comprises first and second holding part groups arranged on a main body. At least one of the two holding part groups is movable between holding and release positions. In the holding position, each holding part acts on an associated location of engagement on the reinforcement body. In the release position, the distance between the holding parts is different from the distance between the locations of engagement on the reinforcement body, such that the positioning device is brought into engagement with the reinforcement body or can be removed therefrom. In the release position, independent handling of the positioning device relative to the reinforcement body is possible. To switch between the holding and release positions, an actuation device is provided.

The invention relates to a device for dismountably connecting two intersecting formwork beams, which comprises a single-component elastic structure with two arms joining together respective areas for pressing the two beams together in support areas, and which can longitudinally slide over one of the beams until it reaches the other beam, the device being elastically deformed by means of pressure or impact thereon, so as to clamp or hold both beams and press them together.

The invention relates to a device for dismountably connecting two intersecting formwork beams, which comprises a single-component elastic structure with two intermediate arms joining together respective areas for pressing the two beams together in support areas, and which can longitudinally slide over one of the beams until it reaches the other beam, the device being elastically deformed by means of pressure or impact thereon, so as to clamp or hold both beams and press them together.

A collar flange assembly clamping tool is disclosed, including an axle having a long axis, and a pair of arms mounted on the axle. At least one of the arms is slideable along the long axis. Each arm includes a primary axis perpendicular to the long axis of the axle, a proximal end portion, and a distal end portion with a tab. The proximal end portion includes a clamping device that moves in a direction perpendicular to the primary axis of the arm and the long axis of the axle.

A collar flange assembly welding fixture is disclosed, including a stand, a circular mount structure, and a support assembly which are configured to provide access to a front side and a back side of a collar flange assembly held by the support assembly. The stand has a plurality of circumferential bearings equidistant from an axis of rotation, the circular mount structure is rotatably supported by the circumferential bearings, and the support assembly is configured for mounting on the circular mount structure.

The present invention has various types of horizontal bracing channels, longitudinal spacing-bracing channels, couplings, bracing clips, support channels, hole shapes within the support channels and orientation of the various elements that affect how wall panels are made. The structural insulating core includes the framing members and spacer blocks between the framing members that interlock together by having a structural insulating core of foam spacers with a tongue side and groove side interlocking the foam spacers between vertical metal support channels including the horizontal bracing channels, longitudinal spacing-bracing channels having notches, couplings and bracing clips connecting together.

An apparatus, such as a beam pocket, connects a beam to a wall, such as a concrete wall. The apparatus includes a frame having a plurality of panels that cooperate to define a pocket of various heights. The apparatus includes a clamp within the pocket. The clamp is configured to secure an end of the beam at a position within the pocket. The clamp is further configured to selectively define the position relative to the frame. The apparatus further includes at least one anchor extending from the clamp and away from the pocket for mounting with the wall.
