    摘要: Structural cells and matrices using the structural cells for positioning below a hardscape that define a void space therein, the structural cells, matrices using the cells and methods of assembly allowing in one embodiment the introduction of a structural fluid such as concrete to provide an alternative structural cell and matrix product. In one embodiment a structural cell assembly is described comprising a structural cell with a plurality of legs integrally linked to a frame at a first frame end, the frame linking the legs together and the frame defining a generally flat plane with the legs extending substantially orthogonally away from the first frame end about the frame flat plane to a leg terminal end; and a separate plate engaging the legs, the separate plate comprising linked sockets, each socket engaging the leg terminal end; and/or linked sockets, each socket engaging the leg frame ends or a part thereof.

    摘要: Various embodiments provide a functionally reinforced concrete slab including a concrete substrate having a first substrate area with a first reinforcement level and a second substrate area having a different second reinforcement level. The functionally reinforced concrete slab further includes a concrete substrate reinforcement apparatus enclosed within the concrete substrate. The concrete substrate reinforcement apparatus is positioned based on the first substrate area and the second substrate area to provide a non-uniform reinforcement of the concrete substrate.

    摘要: A reinforcing assembly includes one or more longitudinally-extending bars having a first end and a second end opposite the first end, multiple first working members, and multiple second working members. Each working member is independently connected to at least one of the one or more bars and extends away from the one or more bars. The first working members are oriented diagonally with respect to a longitudinal axis extending along the one or more bars and are connected along a first continuous portion of the one or more bars. The second working members are oriented diagonally with respect to the longitudinal axis and are connected along a second continuous portion of the one or more bars. The first working members extend from the one or more bars away from the second working members. The second working members extend from the one or more bars away from the first working members.
