A support for installing facing materials such as ceramic tiles on a substrate such as floors, walls and ceilings wherein the support plate has a plurality of spaced apart recesses in the plate material, with the recesses being open at the top surface and have solid sidewalls and a base, and a plurality of slots in the non-recessed portions of the plate material extending through the top surface and bottom surface, the slots joining one or more adjacent recesses. The support plate of the invention is used for tile installations between the substrate and such tile. Thin-set mortar that is used to secure the tile to the support plate flows into the recesses and into the slots forming a continuous bond between the mortar and the adjacent slots providing for a strong bond between the support plate, mortar and the tiles.

A panel designed for forming a floor or a wall, including several beams, each beam including an armature fixed to a base, each base being made from a settable fixing material, the panel including a support having several formwork parts arranged salient from a surface receiving the support, the formwork parts forming housings to respectively receive the beams and having a bottom that is formed by the surface receiving the support, each beam being located in a respective housing where the base of the beam is fixed to the bottom of the housing, the support being formed by a single piece.

A new design and rapid construction method for flush assembly of prefabricated steel beams and floor slabs is disclosed. The upper flange of prefabricated steel beams is “” shaped, which consists of horizontal flange, vertical flange and top flange. Both beam stiffeners and studs are set on the horizontal flange, in which the former can strengthen the bearing capacity of the beam and avoid its local deformation, and the latter can fix the floor slab; prefabricated studs and precast concrete inside the vertical flange in the factory are used to constrain the deformation of upper flange. There is no limitation with respect to the form of floor slab, which is connected with the prefabricated steel beam by hitching the prefabricated rebar ring of the floor slab to the welded studs of the upper flange of the prefabricated steel beam.

An integrally assembled hidden beam hollow two-way floor system includes precast slabs (1), honeycomb steel beams (3), and cast-in-place concrete (4). A plurality of compartments (12) arranged in a matrix is integrally provided on one surface of each of the precast slabs (1), and connecting grooves (14) are provided at a periphery of another surface of the precast slab (1) is provided with connecting grooves (14). Prepared bolt holes (13) penetrating through the precast slab (1) are provided in the connecting grooves (14). The honeycomb steel beam (3) serves as a primary beam or a secondary beam of a steel structure of the floor system. A surface of the precast slab (1) provided with no compartments is lapped and fixed between the secondary beams or between the primary beam and the secondary beam, and adjacent precast slabs (1) are connected and fixed by a U-shaped hoop (2) passing through the prepared bolt hole (13) to form a seam. The cast-in-place concrete (4) includes a surface layer cast onto the compartments (12) and a cast-in-place concrete ribs (41) cast between the compartments (12) of adjacent precast slabs (1) and between the compartment (12) and the primary beam and the secondary beam, the surface layer and the cast-in-place concrete ribs (41) being integrated. An assembly method for the integrally assembled hidden beam hollow two-way floor system is further provided. A method for assembling an integrally assembled hidden beam hollow two-way floor system is provided. The floor system and method for assembling the same achieve similar force performances in two directions, reliable connection between the floor slab and peripheral members, elimination of a risk of cracking of slab seams, and improved assembly efficiency.

This invention involves three masonry units that can aid in materializing masonry construction of better quality. The masonry units include the CMH-4, the CVMH-8 and the SNH-4. The CMH-4 includes cells that permit interior wall cavities that can help include larger piping inside walls as well as horizontal piping for sanitary ventilation without losing the traditional way of installing CMU's or interrupting the typical and usually recommended running bond. The CVMH-8 permits the cutting of the unit in different shapes, of which one can be used as framework. The SNH-4 is a concrete unit that can be used as a planting wall, that aids in openings without windows or doors and that is compatible in dimensions with other CMU's. The three units are compatible with existing masonry units, permitting their mixed use according to design needs.

A support for installing facing materials such as ceramic tiles on a substrate, such as, floors, walls and ceilings. The support plate has a plurality of spaced apart raised portions and recesses in the plate material, and a plurality of openings extending through the top surface and bottom surface of the plate material. The openings exposing a mat layer attached to the bottom of the support plate. Support plates of the invention are used for tile installations between a substrate and tile. Thin-set mortar that is used to secure the tile to the support plate flows into the recesses and into the openings forming a continuous bond between the mortar, openings and mat layer to provide a strong bond between the support plate, mortar and the tiles.
