  • Patent number: 8297024
    Abstract: A method of reinforcing a previously existing structure comprising the steps of constructing a ring foundation surrounding and reinforcing a previously existing foundation. Thereafter, securing reinforcing wall panel assemblies to previously existing wall structures with the wall panel assemblies being external to and secured to upright members of the previously existing wall structures and supported by the ring foundation. Securing platform segments forming reinforcing floor assemblies to upright structural elements of the reinforcing wall panel assemblies, the platform segments being supported by previously existing floor structures during assembly of the platform segments and attachment of the platform segments to the reinforcing wall panel assemblies. Then removing the previously existing floor structures.

  • Patent number: 7765748
    Abstract: Modular structural components and structural connections including chords and forming strips. Each chord has a generally elongated square main body of four main walls surrounding a central bore and having a T-slot structure adapted to accept a bolt type fastener extending along each exterior main surface. Each forming strip is an elongated plate formed into strip segments oriented at right angles to each other and forming a W-shaped corner region, a face region with a bolt hole and an attachment region, each region forming a mating bearing surface with a surface of a chord.

  • Patent number: 5592789
    Abstract: A supporting structure is comprised by a plurality of elongated base structural members each having first and second ends defining the length thereof and each base structural member being defined in part by a hollow tubular portion extending coextensively therewith. The hollow tubular portions each have a given width defined by opposed transverse sides. A plurality of bracing members are provided and each have first and second ends which define the length thereof. Attachment means are formed on the first and second ends of the bracing members for engaging with a surface on one of the plurality of elongated base structural members to effect a connection therebetween. Each of the plurality of elongated base structural members have a keyhole slot formed in the transverse sides thereof. The keyhole slots are sized and shaped to receive and hold the attachment means formed on the first and second ends of the bracing members.
