  • Publication number: 20020070322
    Abstract: A lifting insert for prefabricated concrete components with a bracket for increasing the shearing strength thereof. The insert is embeddable in the body of the component proximate to one of the faces of the component so that one of its ends protrudes, or is otherwise accessible, from the face of the component so that it is engageable by lifting means. The bracket of the insert comprises at least one brace, which is connected to the insert and is also embeddable in the body of the component. The brace is constituted by a lamina that wraps around the insert in a scarf-like fashion with one of its portions.

  • Patent number: 6339903
    Abstract: A supporting device for prefabricated building components, particularly for prefabricated units made of concrete or the like, with high resistance to earthquakes, comprising a bush-like seat which is formed in one face of a first unit and a supporting element which is detachably inserted in the seat. One end of the supporting element protrudes from the seat and from the face of the first unit and forms a resting region for a second unit. The device comprises shock-absorbing means which are interposed between the supporting element and the first unit and/or between the supporting element and the second unit.

  • Publication number: 20010015040
    Abstract: A prefabricated concrete panel for industrialized building, with high thermal and/or acoustic insulation, comprising a first sheet and a second sheet which are embedded in the concrete body of the panel and face each other on planes which are parallel to the planes of arrangement of the two larger faces of the panel. At least one of the sheets is made of thermally insulating material and the sheets delimit, therebetween, an air chamber which is divided into a plurality of mutually connected recesses in order to increase thermal and/or acoustic insulation of the panel.

  • Publication number: 20010015039
    Abstract: A prefabricated concrete panel for building floors in civil or industrial structures, comprising a concrete body with a reinforcement provided with portions which protrude from one of the larger faces of the body of the panel which constitutes extrados of a floor and are designed to be embedded in the casting of the topping of the floor. At least one first shaped sheet is provided inside the body of the panel, is made of thermally insulating material, is interposed between the two larger faces of the panel body and forms, between the two larger faces of the panel body, a ventilation chamber which is composed of a plurality of mutually connected cells.

  • Patent number: 6092849
    Abstract: A device for lifting prefabricated components, particularly made of concrete, or the like, comprising an anchoring element which forms a female seat of a bayonet coupling device and can be embedded in a component proximate to a perimetric side of the component so that the opening for access to the female seat is directed outward, and an engagement element which has a male end of the bayonet coupling device and can be coupled to the female seat. The engagement element, with the male end coupled to the female seat, protrudes from the female seat with a portion which forms an engagement region for lifting equipment.
