A structural insulated panel, SIP, (101) for a building (100) in which the SIP is attachable to another such SIP (101) to provide a structure of the building (100). The SIP (101) comprises a frame (200), a first board (208) attached to a first face of the frame (200), a second board (209) attached to a second face of the frame (200) and an insulating layer (401) bounded by the frame (200) and the first (208) and second boards (209). The frame (200) is fibre-reinforced plastic, FRP. The frame (200) has a joining surface that faces away from the centroid of the SIP (101) so as to be mateable with a joining surface of a frame of another such SIP (101).

Example embodiments of the described technology provide a prefabricated building panel. The prefabricated panel may comprise a rigid insulative core having first and second opposing surfaces. A first cementitious material may at least partially cover the first surface of the insulative core. A second cementitious material may at least partially cover the second surface of the insulative core. At least one embedded element may extend along a peripheral edge of the insulative core.

A watercraft storage structure for storing a watercraft comprises a plurality of supports, wherein each support includes a clamping bracket; a shelf slidably attached to the plurality of supports by the clamping bracket attached to each plurality of supports forming a watercraft storage area; and a support platform positioned within the watercraft storage area, wherein the support platform is adapted for supporting a watercraft; wherein the each clamping bracket includes a first plate and a second plate that operate to press against the support forming a frictional fit with the support.

A structural assembly using at least one anchor assembly for attaching a first structure to a second structure is described. The anchor assembly has a body having a first face and a second face. The first face is transverse to the second face and has an elongate slot. The second face has a through hole. The body is fabricated from a material that fails at a temperature in excess of 1,000° F. A fastening member is positioned in the elongate slot for connecting the first face to the first structure and for sliding engagement with the elongate slot in response to relative movement of the first structure and the second structure.

This invention relates to prefabricated, lightweight, multi-component structural modular building panels and modular building systems. The said panels are framed with edge members that have a unique connecting shape, making them modular. The multi-component panel allows for design flexibility and the mass manufacturing of its components. Connectors serve as a link to assemble the panels together, and to connect them to corners, floors or foundations, roof panels and the roof apex member, and or other conventional construction elements. Connectors and members, all with unique connecting shapes, coupled with the said panels, create a structural wall, roof, similar structure or building system. Assembled panels and members incorporate the primary building structure and the building envelope. The assembled panels, members and other components of the building system, in part or whole, can be flat packed for easy transport and shipping, and can be assembled quickly and easily with semi-skilled labor.

Systems and methods are described herein for a composite building panel for use in a panelized structure. In some aspects, a composite building panel may include: a core defining a channel formed via subtractive manufacturing; a utility conduit placed or formed in and bonded to the channel and enclosed by the core, where the utility conduit exits the core along a first mating edge of the core; and first and second skin elements bonded to the core to form a layered structure. In some cases, the layered structure may also include a reinforced block coupled to at least the first fiber-reinforced skin element and defining part of the first mating edge, where the reinforced block defines a first portion of the first mating edge for mating with another composite building panel of the panelized structure.

A wall element including upper and lower elements at upper and lower edges. A first side element extending along the first side, a second side element extending along the second side and a substantially rectangular board are present. The upper and lower elements include a first edge coinciding with the first side and a second edge coinciding with the second side, wherein the first and second edges are arranged in an angle with respect to a plane perpendicular to the outer surface, the angle lies within the interval 20°-45°, and the first and second side elements extending parallel to the plane, perpendicular to the board and having a total extension corresponding to the extension of the upper and the lower element in the plane, wherein the first side element bear against the plate and the second side element extend from the inside of the wall element.

An acoustical building panel is disclosed that comprises a fibrous panel comprising: a central portion having a first major surface; a perimeter portion surrounding the central portion; a recess press-formed into the perimeter portion, the recess circumscribing the first major surface and comprising a recess floor surface; a second major surface opposite the first major surface; and side edge surfaces that define a perimeter of the fibrous panel and extend from the second major surface to the recess floor surface.

A blow-molded plastic structure has a hollow interior portion formed during a blow-molding process, and includes first and second outer portions that are spaced apart from each other, with the hollow interior portion disposed there between. The structure includes a pattern of structural stiffening features that are integrally formed in the second outer portion. The pattern of structural stiffening features includes a plurality of tripodal depressions disposed in rows and columns and a plurality of convex regions disposed in rows and columns between the plurality of tripodal depressions. Each convex region has a maximum height between the first and second outer portions. Each of the tripodal depressions extends into the hollow interior portion, includes three indentations disposed adjacent the first outer portion, and includes an island spaced away from the first outer portion. The island has three sides, each of which is disposed adjacent one of the three indentations.
