A module splicing structure comprises to-be-spliced modules (C), a connecting component (A), a reinforcing accessory (B), and functional accessories (D, E, G). The to-be-spliced modules (C) are provided with holes or troughs. The connecting component (A) is inserted into the holes or the troughs of two adjacent to-be-spliced modules (C). The shape of the whole or partial cross section of the connecting component (A) inserted into the to-be-spliced modules (C) is the same as the shape of the cross sections of the holes or the troughs of the to-be-spliced modules (C). Connected by the connecting component (A), multiple to-be-spliced modules (C) are spliced into a whole structure or a building. The structure is applied to the field of engineering construction, and can be assembled, disassembled and maintained conveniently and quickly.

In an LNG tank, a dike is formed by arranging precast blocks in the circumferential direction and layering the precast blocks in the vertical direction. Each of the precast blocks has loop joints on the top, bottom, left, and right side faces, and concrete is deposited between each two precast blocks adjacent in the circumferential direction and the vertical direction, whereby masonry joints are formed in the vertical direction and the circumferential direction. Prestress is imparted to the dike by PC steel members. The PC steel members are provided in the circumferential direction and the vertical direction of the dike, and are arranged so as to avoid the masonry joints in the circumferential direction and the vertical direction. Therefore, it is possible to construct the dike in a short time, and it is possible to provide a tank or the like that can reduce the construction period.

Disclosed is a modular building system including, in some embodiments, one or more wall panels, one or more floor panels, and one or more roof panels. The modular building components of the modular building system including the one or more wall panels, the one or more floor panels, and the one or more roof panels can form housing or storage structures with electrical wiring, plumbing, or both wiring and plumbing. The housing or storage structures can be erected by one or more persons without a need for a plumber, an electrician, or power tools. Also disclosed is a method for erecting one or more housing or storage structure in accordance with the modular building system.

A panel is disclosed for use in insulating an edifice that includes a first pane, a second pane in engagement with the first pane so as to define a channel there between configured and dimensioned for drainage and air flow, a clip in engagement with the first and second panes, and an insulator including an upper portion that is positioned within the clip. A system for use in insulating an edifice includes identical panels, wherein the insulator of one panel is positionable within the clip of another panel to connect the panels together. A panel clip for use in insulating an edifice includes a first arm defining an outer surface with a plurality of connectors, a saddle extending from the first arm, and a second arm connected to the saddle opposite the first arm such that the clip is generally H-shaped in configuration.

A modular building unit for use in constructing a building. The building unit has a planar body having two major side faces and two ends between each side face, and a connection interface provided at each of the ends, for connecting similar building units with complemental connection interfaces. The body includes three walls arranged side-to-side and transversely spaced from each other, the three walls thus defining two planar spaces therebetween, and a plurality of reinforcing webs in the first space, for providing structural support to the building unit. The second space defines at least one hollow cavity for receiving a matched insulation insert thereby to impart insulating properties to the building unit.
