Abstract:
Deck systems, deck system components making up the deck systems, and methods of assembling and disassembling deck system components and the deck systems are described herein. A box-frame can be assembled from box-frame segments, angle clips, and fasteners. A box-frame can be supported by posts attached to the box-frame using post brackets and fasteners. Joist assemblies can be assembled using joist segments, joist spacers, and fasteners. Joist assemblies can be positioned within the box-frame. The joist assemblies can be secured to box-frame segments or another joist assembly using roll-lock tabs and roll-lock tab receivers and locking tabs and locking tab retainers that part of extrusions making up the box-frame segments, joist spacers, or joist segments. Deck boards can be secured to the joist assemblies using deck screws or deck clips. The post brackets can accommodate support posts below deck boards and railing posts extending above deck boards.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a modular temporary car park assembly (10) comprising a plurality of decking sections (12) and a plurality of columns (14). The columns (14) are arranged at respective corners of the decking sections (12). Each of the decking sections (12) comprises at least one pre-cambered box girder (26).
Abstract:
A roof-wall building element comprising a wall portion (1) and a roof portion (2) angularly disposed with respect to the wall portion (1) and comprising a ridge portion (3), wherein the roof portion (2) comprises means for connecting two roof-wall building elements along their ridge portions (3). The roof-wall building element comprises at least a first bore (7) in a side edge (8) of the roof-wall building and substantially parallel with the surface of the roof-wall building element and at least a second bore (18) adjacent the side edge and substantially perpendicular to the surface of the roof-wall building element. The first bore is adapted to receive alignment means (19; 11) and the second bore is adapted to receive fastening means (20) such that when two roof-wall building elements are brought together side by side, the first bore of the first roof-wall building element is aligned coaxially with the first bore of the second roof-wall building element and the second bores of the first and second roof-wall building elements, respectively, are disposed substantially side by side. The alignment means may extend into the first bores and the fastening means may extend into the second bores in order to rigidly connect the two roof-wall building elements.
