Modular wall panels having a frame of a plurality of frame components and at least one wall sheet affixed to the frame. Each frame component includes an outer surface with at least one aperture configured to receive and retain an insert therein. The apertures are also configured to permit a cable(s) to pass therethrough for running cables and such through the interior of the wall panel. The frame components may have angled ends, straight ends, or a combination thereof to collectively form a frame which may include corners. A wall system includes a plurality of such wall panels connected to one another along the outer surfaces of the frame components of their respective frames. Connectors and spacers may be inserted into the apertures as inserts and bridge between adjacent panels to selectively connect the panels. Caps may be placed in empty apertures to cover the openings for aesthetic purposes.

The present invention relates to a composite wood arrangement comprising construction components (1) mechanically joined together in a parallel position. Such a construction component comprises at least one profiled side surface (2, 3) and, connecting them together, at least one edge surface (4, 5) and end surfaces (6, 7), perpendicular to the longitudinal axis (11) of the construction component. In the invention, the side surfaces in parallel construction components are adapted in an opposite position in pairs so that profile crests (8) and throughs (9) in opposite side surfaces are substantially parallel. There are these construction components (1) adapted successively in their longitudinal direction and adjacently in at least the lateral direction of the composite wood arrangement to establish a uniform plate-like structure, whereby the construction components are joined together by mechanical joining means.

Wall system for composing a flat wall, in particular a wall, floor, ceiling, roof or the like, the wall system is composed of wooden beams which extend parallel to each other lengthways and the side edges of which are mounted opposite each other breadthways by means of anchoring elements which are mounted in or on the beams and which in mounted condition of the wall are kept apart at a fixed defined distance by means of spacers which extend through passages in the beams, said passages extending and connecting breadthways of the beams and in each other's extension, whereby the anchoring elements are anchored relative to the passages in an axial and radial direction as well as against rotating around the axial passage direction of the passages.

Beneficial use structures are disclosed that include coal combustion residuals (CCR) mixed with water and a binder to form a structural material, and adapted to be compacted for use in the formation of the beneficial use structure. Various structures having beneficial uses are described, including compressed air storage facilities and a pumped hydroelectric facility, including such a facility adapted for use with a lock system of a waterway.

A building wall comprises a shear wall panel having a horizontal bottom edge, a bottom left corner, and a bottom right corner. The wall sits atop a horizontal base support located under the horizontal bottom edge of the shear wall panel. A tie-down couples the shear wall panel to the base support at a central point along the horizontal bottom edge of the shear wall panel such that the shear wall panel rocks under horizontal forces. Toe crushing elements are situated under the bottom corners of the shear wall panel. The bottom corners of the shear wall panel compress the toe crushing elements as the shear wall panel rocks about the tie-down under horizontal forces.

A cellulose-based structural building panel assembly includes a cross-laminated timber (CLT) core which is reinforced with one or more post-tensioned tendons stressed to a pre-selected tensioning force, following the placement as part of the panel assembly. The tendons are provided within a sleeve which is grouted with a channel formed in an underside of the core and which after post-tensioning of tendons is infilled with a binder securing the tendons in a fully bonded configuration.
