    摘要: A structural assembly utilizing a reinforced concrete support element with a flexibly-braided reinforcement sleeve and a cable system for building structures. The reinforced concrete BMASS element has an approximately cylindrical shape and includes a substantially solid concrete core. An outer reinforcement sleeve with a flexible multi-axially braided configuration is embedded on the perimeter, and an inner reinforcement sleeve is embedded within the outer sleeve. A cable tension system connected between the ends of the BMASS element transmits tensile force from the cable to the BMASS element. The structural assembly can be configured as a beam or a column. In a beam configuration, the tensioned cable can also provide beam curvature and greater strength. A multi-cable embodiment includes a second cable, providing additional strength and greater ability to control curvature. One or more of the braces may include an adjustable arm. The tension may be adjusted manually, or remotely.

    摘要: The present disclosure is directed to an apparatus embeddable in a surface. Such surfaces may be formed from any material known in the art of construction, such as, but not limited to, concrete, asphalt, composite rubber, or mud. The apparatus may include a graphical element for display. The apparatus may include frames supporting the graphical element. The frames may include trusses disposed between and upper and a lower surface of the frames. The frame may further include one or more tabs at the upper surface to provide clearance between the upper surface and the graphic element.

    摘要: According to the method, at least one carbon fibre-reinforced polymer band is joined to the steel structure at the end regions thereof, capable of transferring tensile forces. Subsequently, at least one lifting element (7) disposed between the carbon fibre-reinforced polymer band (4) and the steel girder (3) to be reinforced in a region between these end anchorages (5), is extended substantially perpendicular to the carbon fibre-reinforced polymer band (4). So, a tensile force stress is generated between the end regions of the carbon fibre-reinforced polymer band (4). Then, a steel girder treated in such a manner includes at least one carbon fibre-reinforced polymer band, which is each joined to the steel structure (1) at the end regions thereof, capable of transferring tensile forces. In the region between these end regions, a lifting element (7) is disposed between the carbon fibre-reinforced polymer band (4) and the steel girder (3) to be reinforced, by means of which the carbon fibre-reinforced polymer band (4) is subjected to tensile stress by lifting away from the steel girder (3). The tensile force is transferred to the steel girder (3) via the anchoring elements (5).

    摘要: The invention relates to a lightweight concrete building structure using pre-stressed lightweight structural beams 46 with a lightweight floor panel (48) spanning between beams (46). In a particular arrangement, the parking system using building structure (10) may be about less than half the weight than traditional parking building structures. In accordance with one arrangement of the particular embodiment of the invention, the building structure comprises floor structures having one or more structural beams, and one of more lightweight panels for attachment to the structural beam, wherein the floor structure is defined by joining together the one or more lightweight structural beams and the one of more lightweight panels. This particular arrangement is particularly useful because it permits defining a floor structure capable of sustaining relative large loads (such as a multitude of vehicles) using lightweight floor panels.
