This invention concerns a method of doing business which is combined with several scientific advancements of technological ingenuity that results in a novel way of doing business. It in fact teaches a “business method” which creates an innovative approach to obtain annual multi-billion dollar financial revenue as monthly rental income; which results from a rather large scale residential development community of 2000 dwelling units per 50 acre parcels; each parcel being developed upon heretofore 10,000 separately abandoned “Municipal Solid Waste” MSW landfill sites throughout the United States. These apartments are exclusively geared as rentals of a 1,020 square foot-two-bedroom apartment dwellings for only Covid-19 “First Responders” and military service personnel, for the unprecedented sum of just $800/month rent. Additionally, as a supplemental “business method” approach, this instant business model also teaches how to solve the nation's Municipal Solid Waste MSW disposal problems forever into the future as an ingenious viable solution into perpetuity. Moreover, it is further postulated within this business model that further collateral financial revenue automatically inures as a natural business consequence of the sheer necessary and vital purchase of construction materials needed herein, thus positioned as a leveraged-buyout; whereby this 76 billion dollar opportunity now becomes an integral adjunct to this unique business model by adopting a “Home Depot” type retail business concept structure as additional revenue sharing for this inventor's shareholders.

A connection between a connector, a fastener and one or more structural members is disclosed. The connector can be formed with a fastening and alignment member. The fastening and alignment member includes a projecting member and a protruding member in close proximity to a predetermined location for the fastener.

Modular building methods and systems using lightweight modular panels, and specially configured transition panels for transitioning from wall to floor, or from wall to roof. Identically configured standard panels are used for constructing the walls, floor, and roof, with transitions from one structure to the next (e.g., wall to floor, or wall to roof). Each of the variously configured panel types includes channels (e.g., 2 pair of channels) formed through the length of the foam body, where the channels are configured to receive splines (e.g., flanges of an I-beam) therein. In the standard panel, the channels may include pairs of top and bottom channels, with the channels offset towards the respective panel major faces. In the transition panels, the channels may be similarly configured, but positioned differently to make the appropriate transition. The splines are connected to a frame, which acts as a template and transfers loads to a foundation.

The present disclosure provides in various embodiments a truss member connector including a first attachment section, a second attachment section, a connection section connecting the first attachment section to the second attachment section, and one or more guide pins. The present disclosure provides in various embodiments a reinforced truss and a method for reinforcing a truss member of a truss with the additional reinforcing member which includes attaching an additional reinforcing member to the truss member with a plurality of truss member connectors to enable rotation of the additional reinforcing member relative to the truss member such that the additional reinforcing member adds support and rigidity to the truss member and the entire truss.

Diagonal beam joining hardware according to one or more embodiments includes: a beam splicing part; an extending part protruding from an appropriate intermediate part of the beam splicing part; and a beam receiving hardware mounting part bending and extending from an end edge of the extending part to form a predetermined plane angle with respect to the beam splicing part. The beam splicing part is attached and fastened to a side face of a continued beam by through bolts and penetrating the beam in the beam width direction. Beam receiving hardware is fitted in a slit formed in an end part of the diagonal beam. A contacting part of the beam receiving hardware is superimposed on the beam receiving hardware mounting part of the diagonal beam joining hardware and fastened by bolt/nut fastening.

Structural support apparatus, system, and installation method, comprising a base member adapted for being mounted to an existing building structure, an attachment bracket mounted to the base member at a pivot point adapted to be set securely to an angle selected during installation, the attachment bracket also adapted for mounting to a wood riser having openings therein to match the attachment bracket.

A bearing clip for joining a truss to a bearing material is disclosed. The bearing clip includes a base portion, a vertical portion, and at least one wing. The base portion includes a back end, sides adjacent to the back end and a bottom surface. The vertical portion extends from the back end of the base portion in a first direction away from the bottom surface. The at least one wing extends from a side of the base portion at an obtuse angle and at least partially in the first direction.

A representative roof frame structure incorporates: paired wood sloping beams respectively extending from a ridge portion toward eaves on opposite sides from each other; a hanging portion hanging vertically downward from the ridge portion; and two steel braces respectively installed between lower faces of the sloping beams and side faces of a lower end of the hanging portion, wherein one end of each of the steel braces is pin-jointed to a beam-side fixing portion protruding from the lower face of the sloping beam, and the other end of each of the steel braces is pin-jointed to a hanging-portion-side fixing portion protruding from the side face of the lower end of the hanging portion.

An arch building structure includes a plurality of structural arch assemblies, a plurality of purlins, and a plurality of flat roofing sections. The plurality of structural arch assemblies is positioned parallel and offset from each other upon the length of the building. The plurality of purlins is positioned perpendicular to the plurality of structural arch assemblies and radially positioned on the vertexes of the plurality of structural arch assemblies to further strengthen the building. Each of the plurality of flat roofing sections is mounted across a corresponding pair of adjacent purlins from the plurality of purlins so that the building roof can be completed.

An installation and construction method of a wall panel is provided for installing the wall panel to a pair of wooden columns and a wooden horizontal member, the wooden columns being installed in a standing manner so as to be spaced apart from each other, the wooden horizontal member being installed to the wooden columns. The method includes: forming the wall panel by connecting mutually adjacent end portions of a plurality of surface members in a horizontal direction by a half column extending in a vertical direction, studs being fixed on first plate surfaces of the plurality of surface members; and after installing the wooden horizontal member to the wooden columns and adjusting erection of the wooden columns, fixing edge end portions of the surface members of the wall panel to front surfaces of the wooden columns and a front surface of the wooden horizontal member.
