Abstract: A pipe joint includes a first pipe and a second pipe. The first pope has a first annular flange at one end, the first annular flange including a first end face. The second pipe has a second annular flange at one end, the second annular flange including a second end face. The first annular flange is mated to the second annular flange, with the first end face and the second end face facing each other and pressing at least one seal member therebetween. A plurality of axial retaining members are disposed around a perimeter of the mated first and second annular flanges to hold the pipe joint together.

Abstract: A corrugated plate structure includes a plurality of corrugated plates connected together to form a corrugated structure having a corrugation direction and a cross-corrugation direction. A reinforcement system includes: a first bracket and a second bracket, where the first bracket extends substantially parallel to the cross-corrugation direction and mounted to side-by-side first and second corrugation crests so as to pass over a corrugation valley that joins the first and second corrugation crest, and where the second bracket is spaced in the corrugation direction from the first bracket, and the second bracket extends substantially parallel to the cross-corrugation direction and mounted to the first and second corrugation crests so as to pass over the corrugation valley. An elongated reinforcing member extends substantially parallel to the corrugation direction and mounted to both the first bracket and the second bracket.

Abstract: A containment system including a wall member with a plurality of corrugations, each corrugation extending horizontally along a length of the wall member. Each of a multiplicity of the corrugations has openings therein, and at least some of the openings in the corrugations at least partially align to form an upright keyway through the wall member. The system further includes a bracket that has a plurality of corrugation-receiving spaces therein. The wall member is positioned with corrugations in respective corrugation-receiving spaces. The system also includes a locking member received in the upright keyway of the wall member and positioned such that interaction between the locking member and portions of the bracket prevent the wall member from being pulled away from the bracket.

Abstract: A construction hanger comprises a brace including a first elongated member; an arm extending from one end of the first elongated member at an angle thereto, the arm and the elongated member cooperating to engage the surface of a construction support member; a guide at the end of the elongated member opposite the one end, the guide being capable of receiving a hanger member, the guide being positioned on or formed within the brace and at an angle thereto; the guide tying the hanging member to the construction support member by means of the brace.

Abstract: A corrugated plate structure including a plurality of first rows of members, each first row including a first plurality of members connected end-to-end lengthwise. Each first row has members of variable widths along its length to define a first edge, and the first edge is similarly shaped for each first row. The corrugated plate structure further includes a plurality of second rows of members, each second row including a second plurality of members connected end-to-end lengthwise. Each second row has members of variable widths along its length to define a second edge, and the second edge is similarly shaped for each second row. The first edge and the second edge are complementary in shape, and the first rows and second rows are connected side-by-side along their first and second edges, where each member of the first row is interconnected with one member of the second row.
