A prefabricated post assembly is proposed. The prefabricated post assembly includes a vertical post having at least one assembly surface and a horizontal post having an assembly module mounted at an end thereof to be coupled to the assembly surface, in which at least one upper insertion hole is formed at an upper portion of the assembly surface and at least one lower insertion hole is formed at a lower portion of the assembly surface.

A splice having a main body and one or more protrusions extending from the main body. The one or more protrusions can be operable to interfere with a rail when the main body is installed into an opening of the rail. The one or more protrusions may be operable to cut into a coating of the rail and form an electrical connection between the rail and the main body.

The present invention relates to a truss that allows the formation of an arc when connected with other trusses and that creates an optimal angle that generates a lower calculation effort in the structure.

The present invention also relates to an arched structure comprising a plurality of such trusses and to a shed comprising a plurality of arched structures.

A beam system and method of erecting a supporting arch enables large roofed structures to be erected quickly and economically. The method includes aligning a plurality of structural elements longitudinally; connecting upper corners of the structural elements to upper corners of adjacent structural elements, wherein adjacent lower corners of the structural elements remain unconnected; elevating first and second structural elements in a middle of the supporting arch; connecting lower corners of the first and second structural elements together; elevating third and fourth structural elements adjacent the first and second structural elements, respectively; and connecting lower corners of the third and fourth structural elements to lower corners of the first and second structural elements, respectively.

A building system that includes a modular panel with side members, at least one of the side members having an associated coupling for hooked connection with a corresponding shaped fixture of an adjacent structure, the coupling and fixture being adapted to be held together by a locking device that, when engaged, acts to lock the structure and the side member together and, when disengaged, allows for play between the panel and structure in order to free the panel from the structure.

A construction system for a module of a dwelling the main elements of which are made of plastic material includes a set of hollow profiled beams (1, 1′) of elongate rectilinear shape of type 1 and of type 2. The beams (1, 1′) include at each end (5, 5′) a transverse passage opening (6, 6′). The transverse passage opening (6) of a beam (1) of type 1 comes to be nested with the transverse passage opening (6′) of a beam (1′) of type 2 when the two beams (1, 1′) are assembled end to end at a right angle leaving a passage opening (6, 6′) between the two ends (5, 5′) of the beams (1, 1′). Two beams (1) of type 1 can be assembled with two beams (1′) of type 2 to form a rectangular frame. The system further includes a set of corner assembly elements (2, 2′), each assembly element (2, 2′) including a body intended to pass through the transverse passage opening (6, 6′) of the beams (1, 1′) of type 1 and 2. The system also includes a set of plates (3) that can be assembled between two beams (1) of type 1 when assembled or two beams (1′) of type 2 when assembled to form a rectangular frame, and a set of posts (11) of hollow rectangular section the hollow ends of which come to be nested over a corner assembly element (2, 2′) of a rectangular frame formed of beams (1, 1′) of type 1 and of type 2 so as to form a three-dimensional framework. The posts (11) include longitudinal rails or grooves (8) on two adjacent surfaces to receive other plates (3′) between the posts (11) during assembly. Each hollow profile beam (1, 1′) including along an upper surface spaced rails or grooves (8) intended to receive said other plates (3′).
