Building structure, building, and building method
A building structure that can be assembled easily with high assembling precision is provided. The building structure of the present invention is a building structure for transmitting a load on a roof to a post, and includes a unit (10) joined to a post (20). The unit includes three or more first beams arranged in parallel in one direction and three or more second beams arranged in parallel in another direction intersecting the one direction. Each first beam and each second beam has a truss structure. In a section where the first beam intersects the second beam, an upper chord of the first beam is disposed on an upper chord of the second beam and is joined to the upper chord of the second beam via a joining member, using a fastener. In the section where the first beam intersects the second beam, a lower chord of the first beam is disposed on a lower chord of the second beam and is joined to the lower chord of the second beam via a joining member, using a fastener.
Modular furniture system
A modular framework having a plurality of elongate structural members interconnected by brackets is provided. Each of the brackets includes at least one tubular socket to receive a structural member, and an array of holes is provided on a face of the socket to permit connection of an attachment to the bracket to support ancillary components.

Storage system
A storage system includes a storage grid structure and multiple remotely operated storage bin handling vehicles. The storage grid structure includes a first and a second type of vertical storage column profiles defining multiple storage columns in which storage bins can be stored one on top of another in vertical stacks. The storage column profiles are interconnected at their top ends by rails forming a horizontal rail grid upon which the bin handling vehicles may move in two perpendicular directions. The first type of storage column profiles has a cross-section comprising a hollow centre section and four corner sections. Each corner section includes two perpendicular bin guiding plates for accommodating a corner of a storage bin. The second type of storage column profiles has a cross-section comprising a hollow centre section having at least two connecting elements, and at least one corner section. The corner section includes two perpendicular bin guiding plates for accommodating a corner of a storage bin. The storage grid structure includes a grid supporting structure including at least some of the second type of storage column profiles interconnected, via their connecting elements by vertically inclined support struts.
STRATA SPACE FRAME
A space frame is provided having a first set of nodes located along a first surface and a second set of nodes located along a second surface, and a unitary cell. The second surface non-intersecting the first surface. The unitary cell comprises at least four continuous web elements and extending in three dimensions. The unitary cell spans at least two nodes of the first set of nodes and at least two nodes of the second set of nodes.
Area-Covering Structure Module
A double-shelled load-bearing structure module of any geometric shape, is formed from top and bottom secondary shell elements. A double-shelled load-bearing structure in the form of a primary shell structure is joined with the module, made of individual assembled load-bearing structure modules of this kind having statically necessary filling rods. The secondary shell elements have, in each corner, a connection pocket, which is open at the top or bottom or is open at the top and bottom, of appropriate size for connecting a plurality of load-bearing structure modules. The connection pocket, at least on the outside, on the outer vertical surfaces of the secondary shell elements, is delimited by preferably metal profiles or metal sheet. Connection tabs can also be disposed in each corner instead of connection pockets. The connection tabs are formed from angular surfaces, preferably metal sheet, protruding towards the intermediate space between the secondary shell elements.
SYSTEM AND METHOD HAVING AN IMPROVED BEAM AND BEAM COUPLING SYSTEM
A building system that utilizes an improved beam and coupling system for building a frame or structure having improved strength and durability and improving performance and/or spanning distance of the beam.

Support system for use in construction
A support system for for supporting a work surface, such as a floating roof during maintenance of the associated tank. More particularly, the present disclosure is directed to providing a system composed on elements which can be transported without constrictive spaces, assembled within work area, and employed to provide support to a structure above and to provide a safe working environment therein. . The support system includes four support members, each having a jack, a lower, and a cap, eight connectors which fix the support members in relation to one another and provide rigidity, and may include two connecting shafts to permit simultaneous adjustment of two jacks on a side of the support system.
