Abstract: A beam and bolting construction method and an example dwelling (10) according to the method are provided. The method involves preliminary steps of selecting a site and determining a bolt array (19) and selection of dimensions and materials. Actual construction steps include forming a foundation slab (14) having vertical bolts (18) embedded therein in accordance with the bolt array (19). Alternating layers of beams (B), having aligned bolt bores (52) for receiving the bolts, are successively laid down over the bolts (18), with sides meeting at corners (29) with alternating sides encompassing the corner bolt. Once a desired height is achieved, washers (72) and nuts (78) are placed on the bolts and are tightened to desired pressure levels. The dwelling (10) is formed with beams (42) compressed together by threaded bolts (18) in a bolt array (19).

Abstract: Automatic provisioning of dedicated circuits (40, 44, 48, 49, 55, 56, 64, 68, 72, and 74) within a network (10) to obtain connectivity of a prescribed bandwidth between an origin (12) and an end point (16) is accomplished by first identifying circuits having a prescribed bandwidth and suitable location from a map of such circuits maintained in a data base (80). Once the circuits having the prescribed bandwidth and suitable location are identified, then a group of circuits is selected, based on one or more predetermined criteria. Thereafter, provisioning commands are generated for receipt by Digital Access Cross-Connect Devices (42, 46, 50, 54, 58, 62, 66 and 73) that interconnect the circuits to provide the desired conductivity between the origin and the end point.
