052378000 | CAST IN SITU LOADING BEARING MONOLITH WITH COEXTENSIVE SECTION AND TIE | 10 |
20090249725 | Wall forming system and method thereof - A tie system and method for forming a wall from a hardenable pourable building material. In one embodiment, the tie system includes multiple ties configured to be directly interconnected into a vertically extending tie stack such that multiple tie stacks can be positioned over a footing in a spaced apart arrangement. The multiple tie stacks are configured to extend substantially perpendicular between substantially parallel panel structures. Each tie stack includes a base tie and one or more wall ties, each of which directly attach to each other in a vertically stacked arrangement. | 10-08-2009 |
20100071290 | MONOLITHIC CONCRETE WALL EXPANSION JOINT SYSTEM - An expansion joint system for a wall is provided herein wherein a first concrete wall component is substantially separated from a second concrete wall component via a rigid plate such that contraction of the first concrete wall component does not create significant stresses in the first or second concrete wall component so as to create cracks in the first or second concrete wall component. Moreover, a compressible material may be disposed between the rigid plate and/or the first and/or second concrete wall component such that expansion of the first concrete wall component compresses the compressible material instead of imposing significant stresses on the first or second concrete wall component so as to be likely to form cracks in the first or second concrete wall component. | 03-25-2010 |
20100132292 | Structural Support System and Method - A structural support system includes one or more generally vertically extending columns of curable material wherein each column defines an outer column periphery. A base of curable material is preferably monolithically formed with the column on its lower portion. In one embodiment, the base may have an outer periphery that increases or varies along the base and wherein a foundation of curable material is formed over at least a portion of the base whereby the column, the base, and the foundation are mechanically locked together to resist lateral, torsional, and/or upwardly directed vertical forces. | 06-03-2010 |
20150368915 | FORM BOARD AND METHOD OF CONSTRUCTING FORM USING THE SAME - Disclosed herein are a form board and a method of constructing a form using the same. The form board has a rectangular board shape, is made of foam so as to be usable as an insulator for pouring concrete, and tie through-holes are provided at edge portions of the form board such that flat ties are arranged through the tie through-holes. Thus, the form board is a nonmetallic form board (sheathing board) with heat insulation properties (e.g., made of a foam material such as Styrofoam or a plastic material) used as an internal/external insulator for construction, without the removal of the form board after pouring concrete, and the form board can provide convenience and practicality since the form board itself performs an insulation function and there is no need for the separate removal operation of the form board after curing the concrete and thus the installation operation of insulators. | 12-24-2015 |
20160002920 | COMPRESSION TRANSFER MEMBER - Provided is a compression member for a thermally broken connector assembly, such as for a balcony. In one embodiment, the compression member includes an elongated body which extends into first and second independent concrete structural elements. The elongated body includes a cross-section. The cross-section may include at least two independent rounded surfaces. The cross-section may include at least one corner, which may be rounded. The cross-section may further include at least one leg. The first and second independent concrete structural elements may extend in horizontal planes when the independent concrete structural elements are in their service position. The compression member transfers compression forces between the first and second independent concrete structural elements. Furthermore, the compression member may be independent of the internal reinforcing, or rebar, of one or both independent concrete structural elements. | 01-07-2016 |

20120279155 | Method, Kit and Armature for Assembling a Plurality of Slabs into a Decorative Bin, Cachepot, or the Likes - A method, kit and armature for assembling a number of upright slabs into a decorative enclosure are described herein. The armature includes a same number of armature elements than of slabs. A respective armature element is positioned at each intersection of two adjacent slabs. Each armature element includes a stopper for contacting onto one side face of corresponding slabs and a cable-receiving member mounted to the stopper. The armature further includes a cable that is mounted into the cable-receiving member and that is then tensioned to add rigidity to the assembly. The kit includes the armature elements, the cable, elastic bands and attachments that cooperate with the elastic band for holding the slabs in the predetermined configuration prior and during assembly of the armature. A tensioning element can further be used to tension the cable. | 11-08-2012 |
20120285111 | MASONRY WALL ANCHOR AND SEISMIC WALL ANCHORING SYSTEM - A two-piece masonry anchor including a plate having opposing faces, an attachment feature extending from one of the faces, and a leg extending from the other of the faces having an insulation thickness guide and an elongate slot transverse to the extension direction of the leg, and an anchor adapted to attach to the leg of the plate and having first and second portions arranged to define a right angle therebetween. A seismic wall anchoring system including a plurality of masonry anchors interconnected by a rod. | 11-15-2012 |
20130139459 | RUBBLE STONE ANCHORING SYSTEM - Anchoring systems for use in cavity wall structures having an inner wythe and an outer wythe constructed of rubble stone are disclosed. The anchoring system employs an anchor fastened to or set within the inner wythe that extends into the cavity and connects to a J-hook. A vertically adjustable veneer tie enwraps the J-hook, limiting lateral movement and front-to-back displacement, and is set within the bed joint of the outer wythe. The anchoring system minimizes cavity size and provides stability for an uncoursed outer wythe equivalent to that of anchoring systems for standards coursed bed joints. | 06-06-2013 |
20140250814 | LASER CONFIGURED COLUMN ANCHORS AND ANCHORING SYSTEMS UTILIZING THE SAME - A high-strength laser configured column anchor and anchoring system is disclosed. The high-strength column anchor provides high-strength pullout resistance when embedded within the wall bed joint. Specially-configured apertures, edging and dimension restrictions provide for flow-through mortar embedment within the wall bed joint. The edging provides irregular and regular patterns ensuring a secure fit within the bed joint. The column anchors include a flat and rotated form for secure attachment to the column flanges and optionally include a securement bar or clamp to further secure the column anchor to the column flanges. | 09-11-2014 |
