Disaster-resistant structure and method for securing disaster-resistant structures to a body of cast material
The disaster-resistant structure secured to a body of cast material comprises at least one flexible cable to resist high loads, debris impact and other hazards that occur due to high winds, tornadoes, earthquakes, or other severe storms. The structure is secured to the body of cast material by at least one flexible cable passing through. At least one hollow tube imbedded into the body of cast material. The flexible cable is looped around the structure in a substantially vertical plane, passed through the tube, traveling inside the walls and ceiling. The ends of the flexible cable are connected using any conventional means for connecting cable ends. The structure is also secured by at least one other flexible cable that is looped around the room structure in a substantially horizontal plane located within the walls and secured using any conventional means for connecting cables. In the preferred embodiment, the walls are also secured together by at least one other flexible cable that is looped around the room in a substantially horizontal plane and secured to the structure's framing. The ends of the horizontally looped flexible cable are secured to the structure's framing such as the door framing with a connector, hook, or other means of securing the end of a cable to a framing member. The at least one horizontally looped flexible cable is located within the walls. The vertically looped and horizontally looped flexible cables form a network of cables around the structure, located within the walls of the structure. In the preferred embodiment, the network of flexible cables may be encased in a cast material placed into the wall cavities and above the ceiling panel.
DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING THREE-DIMENSIONAL STRUCTURES CREATED IN SUCCESSIVE LAYERS
A device for fabricating structures of large dimensions, layer by layer.
The invention relates to a device making use of positioning an extrusion head in three dimensions by means of cables in order to deposit a pasty material continuously in thin layers, e.g. a mortar comprising either a hydraulic binder or thermoplastic compounds or thermosetting compounds or curable compounds.
The invention is for making industrial elements of very large dimensions, and more particularly for making buildings.
BUILDING ASSEMBLY
A building assembly includes a plurality of expanded polystyrene wall panels, headers, sill panels, U blocks, U block caps, roof panels, and connectors. Each U block includes rebar and at least one of concrete and cementitious material in a recess or void therein. Each U block cap when joined to the U block creates an enclosed void in the U block which holds the rebar and concrete and/or cementitious material. A plurality of capped U blocks joins a plurality of wall panels, headers, and sills to form a wall structure. A plurality of U blocks are placed on a top surface of the wall structure. A roof assembly including a plurality of U blocks, H connectors, T connectors, and combinations thereof connected to roof panels to form a rigid roof assembly. A coating of cementitious material provides additional structural rigidity and resistance to impact, fire, water, mold, mildew, and insects.
DECK PANEL FOR CONSTRUCTION
Provided is a deck panel for construction, including: an upper side deck panel which includes an upper side deck plate, an upper side truss girder which is disposed on the upper side deck plate, and an upper side reinforcement part which is coupled to the upper side deck plate or the upper side truss girder; a lateral side deck panel which includes a lateral side deck plate, a lateral side truss girder which is disposed on the lateral side deck plate, and a lateral side reinforcement part which is coupled to the lateral side deck plate or the lateral side truss girder, and is disposed on at least one lateral side of the upper side deck panel; and a coupling member which fixes the upper side deck panel and the lateral side deck panel.
Precast wall having increased pouring resistance
The present disclosure relates generally to a precast wall having increased pouring resistance. The precast wall has a configuration by which resistance to the pouring pressure of concrete poured between outer and inner panels is increased, the configuration including rail members buried in outer and inner panels, link members disposed between connection members connecting the rail members in the outer and inner panels to act integrally, and coupling members.
Fully assembled, fully cast-in-place, composite-type house and construction method thereof
Disclosed are a fully assembled, fully cast-in-place, composite-type house and a construction method thereof, comprising providing at least one layer of house main body on a house foundation, wherein each layer of the house main body comprises: a tension bearing system which constitutes a wall body (1) or floor slab (2), a stabilizing function system for the tension bearing system, a system which constitutes a heat-insulating layer and a fire-proofing layer and is used as a formwork and has the function of supporting, and a pressure bearing system which connects together the afore-mentioned systems by means of a fully cast-in-place technique. The fully assembled, fully cast-in-place, composite-type house and the construction method thereof integrate structural component specifications, the overall stability of the house is good, and energy-saving and environmental protection requirements are satisfied.
