  • Patent number: 10400438
    Abstract: The joining device (100, 100?) comprises a first cover (1) and a second cover (2), each of which has a plurality of through holes (3) that match up with one another in position, for the ends of the rebars of the columns (200, 200A) to pass through. The covers (1,2) are joined together by means of, at least, two transverse webs (4) and several stiffener reinforcements (5,5A), which are arranged in perpendicular to the covers (1,2). The device further comprises connecting means (202, 203, 204, 205) between the ends of the rebars (201,201A) of the columns (200,200A).

  • Patent number: 10378199
    Abstract: A joining device (100) for precast reinforced concrete elements with a dry joint comprising a first group of joining reinforcements (10?) arranged on a first plane and in parallel with one another, each one of said joining reinforcements (10) comprising one reinforcement (1) and two threaded ends (2). The device comprises first coupling means (30) for coupling to the columns (200) arranged between the joining reinforcements (10) and perpendicular to the first plane defined by the joining reinforcements (10) and a plurality of anchoring plates (20) arranged so as to define a closed frame inside of which the joining reinforcements (10) are arranged, and where the inner space defined by the anchoring plates (20) is filled with a structural filler material (concrete, resin, composite, etc.) (50). The anchoring plates (20) comprise a plurality of holes (21), at least one for each threaded end (2), in a position that matches up with the latter, and through which the threaded ends (2) remain accessible.

  • Publication number: 20180209134
    Abstract: The construction arrangement comprises a first construction wall (1) and a second construction wall (2). The walls (1, 2) are arranged adjacent in a vertical plane, such that the first construction wall and the second construction wall (1, 2) have an edge in contact and such that three directions (X, Y, Z) are defined, an X-direction (X) corresponding to the contact edge direction, a Y-direction (Y) corresponding to a direction perpendicular to the X-direction and contained in the vertical plane and a Z-direction (Z) perpendicular to both the X and Y directions (X, Y), such that it is a direction normal to the first and second construction walls (1, 2). The construction comprises a connection assembly capable of transmitting forces in the X and the Y direction (X, Y) between the walls (1, 2) and attachable upon a surface of the walls (1, 2) normal to the Z-direction.
