A plurality of wall cells rest upon an underlying cementitious foundation and form a perimeter of the vault. Each wall cell has two lateral sides with mating surfaces thereon which are of complementary undulating shape with adjacent lateral surfaces of adjacent wall cells. The wall cells have different thicknesses and widths to provide desirable wall thickness for a different portions of the oncology vault. A door assembly formed of specialized wall cells and with a pivoting door element are also included within the wall. A ceiling is provided above space inboard of the wall cells. This ceiling is formed of separate ceiling slab elements. The slabs are stacked in at least one layer. In one embodiment, multiple layers of slabs are stacked with seams between slabs of each layer offset from each other. In another embodiment, lateral sides of the slabs have a complementary undulating shape.

Expandable container shelter, where the container comprises elements pivotally connected to the container in vertical mounts at the ends of longitudinal side of the container, provided for creating a structure designed for extending the inner space of the container to a shelter connected with this container at the longitudinal side of the container characterized in that elements provided for creating the structure designed for extending the inner space of the container (1) to the shelter (2) connected with this container (1) are at least on one longitudinal side of the container (1) composed of one pair of supporting frames (3), where the supporting frame (3) comprises at least one horizontal beam (31), wherein the supporting frame (31) has length in the range up to dimension equal to inner length of the container (1), where the shelter (2) roof (6) supports (5) are connected to the supporting frames (3).

The present invention relates to a building system and a method of making and assembling the building system. In particular, the present invention relates to a footing for a building structure, the footing comprises a plurality of precast concrete layers, each precast concrete layer comprising reinforcement bars and a plurality of apertures. The footing further comprises a base structure comprising a base plate and a plurality of alignment bars protruding from the base plate. The footing is configured such that when the plurality of precast concrete layers are positioned on top of one another, the plurality of alignment bars of the base structure extend through the respective apertures of each precast concrete layer. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a building structure having one or more building modules.

According to aspects of the present disclosure, an expandable field kitchen is disclosed. The expandable field kitchen includes an expandable intermodal container. The expandable intermodal container has a floor panel, a ceiling panel, a wall panel including an opening, an access door disposed on the wall panel, an appliance utility port disposed on an interior surface of the expandable intermodal container, and a service door having a low-profile door handle. The addition, the expandable intermodal container includes an expansion unit that deploys from the interior portion of the expandable intermodal container through the opening.

A folding shed may include a roof portion, a lateral portion and a bottom portion, said lateral portions forming two lateral sides of the shed that connects the roof portion and the bottom portion. Each roof portion, lateral portion and bottom portion includes a plurality of connecting units and hinge units, and each hinge unit is configured to pivotally connect with a longitudinal side of one connecting unit and pivotally connect with the other longitudinal side of an adjacent connecting unit. At least one hinge unit is configured to pivotally connect a corresponding connecting unit in the roof portion and a corresponding connecting unit in the lateral portion, and at least another hinge unit is configured to pivotally connect a corresponding connecting unit in the lateral portion and a corresponding connecting unit in the bottom portion.

A device comprising: a first sidewall connected to a bottom wall via a first hinge and connected to a top wall via a second hinge, wherein a third hinge is disposed in the first sidewall about parallel to both the first hinge and the second hinge; a second sidewall connected to the bottom wall via a fourth hinge and connected to the top wall via a fifth hinge, wherein a sixth hinge is disposed in the second sidewall about parallel to both the fourth hinge and the fifth hinge, wherein the second sidewall is opposite the first sidewall, and wherein the third hinge of the first sidewall and the sixth hinge of the second sidewall have about a co-equal height along the side first and second sidewalls, relative to the bottom wall; a third sidewall connected to the bottom wall via a seventh hinge; and a fourth sidewall connected to the bottom wall via an eight hinge, wherein the fourth sidewall is configured to fold onto the bottom wall, and wherein the third sidewall is configured to fold onto the fourth sidewall in a collapsed position of the device.

The invention is directed broadly to a modular housing system having a structural framework comprising an internal chassis as a core structural element, the internal chassis including: a first ladder frame that defines a base; four columns at least two being extendable columns; and a second ladder frame engaged to the first ladder frame via the four columns, such that at least one of a distance and an angle between the first ladder frame and the second ladder frame is adjustable to define a usable volume of the structural framework.

A method and a kit for building a protective structure, the method and the kit including supplying a carrying structure, including a plurality of parallel carrying rails; supplying a group of panels, the panels being able to be engaged on and slide on the carrying rails; and transferring the panels from the storage position to a final position bearing on the carrying rails, by transferring at least one of the panels from the storage position to an insertion position on the carrying rails; using a transfer device lifting the at least one panel upward; placing the transferred panels one after the other bearing on the carrying rails; and moving the transferred panels along the carrying rails.
