A method of constructing a masonry infill in a load bearing structure comprises the steps of: laying one or more courses of masonry (7) in the infill space; partitioning off a casting space having as its base the then uppermost course of masonry (22); the casting space extending from one side of the infill space to the other; positioning reinforcing material (14) in the casting space; securing an end of the reinforcing material to the load bearing structure; filling the casting space with concrete (20), and laying one or more further courses of masonry on top of the filled casting space. The reinforced concrete forms a bond beam which strengthens the masonry. The reinforcing material may be rebar, secured to a load-bearing frame of the building by a cleat (16) having pockets (12) for reception of the rebar ends. Optionally the reinforcement may be tensioned, to pre-stress the bond beam. The bond beam may also be used to strengthen bonded, load-bearing masonry panels in bending, without being secured to an adjacent load-bearing structure.

A bond beam rebar positioner including a center segment having an undulating form positioned between first and second legs, each of the legs including a first segment arranged perpendicular to a notional straight line longitudinally bisecting the curves of the center segment, a second segment perpendicular to the first segment, parallel to the straight line, and in a direction away from the center segment, and a third segment perpendicular to the second segment, coplanar with the second segment, and perpendicular to a common plane of the center, first and second segments.

Masonry walls of buildings supported on concrete foundations are strengthened against destructive wind and seismic forces by spaced elongated members inserted inside the hollow masonry walls. The spaced elongated members are secured to the continuous masonry bond beam and the foundation. Tension means at the top of the masonry wall make the elongated members taut creating a continuous tension load path from bond beam to the foundation.

A concrete wall forming system including a plurality of mold units for forming a wall of concrete. The mold units include a bond beam form extending into the body lengthwise, defined by a first wall, a second wall, a bond beam form bottom, a first end and a second end where the first wall and second wall extend a depth defined by a portion of the distance from the top surface to the bottom surface and where the bond beam form does not touch the first side or the second side. First and second ledges extend lengthwise along the body from the first and second sides respectively to the first and second walls respectively of the bond beam form. The bond beam form bottom extends from the first wall to the second wall. At least two column forms extend from the bond beam form bottom to a bottom surface.

A moisture control system for a straw bale core wall having an air pathway from the foundation of the wall to its bond beam permitting air to be pumped into the wall at the foundation level and up through the core of the wall into a plenum space at the top of the wall and out through one or more vents into the atmosphere.

A concrete wall forming system including interconnected mold units that include a top surface containing a first portion bond beam form, a first top ledge, a first top lip seal portion, a second top ledge, and a second top lip seal portion; a bottom surface containing a second portion bond beam form, a first bottom ledge, a first bottom lip seal portion, a second bottom ledge, and a second bottom lip seal portion; and two or more column forms extending from the top depression to the bottom depression. The first top lip seal portion and first bottom lip seal portion and second top lip seal portion and second bottom lip seal portion are adapted to form a seal between two mold units such that the bond beam form portions are combined to form a bond beam form. The system can be used to form an insulated concrete wall.

A modular building system uses a perimeter bond beam and prefabricated wall panels to form an exterior curtain wall. The wall panels are captured within, and may move vertically inside a channel formed in the bond beam. The wall panels are quickly erected by inserting an upper edge of each panel into the channel and swinging the panel onto the foundation where it is claimed in place on the foundation.

The invention discloses an externally supported girder type inspection road structure and a construction method of a combined girder bridge, and relates to the technical field of bridge construction. It includes: support beams, the support beams are fixedly connected on both sides of the combined beam bridge, there are multiple support beams, and the multiple support beams are arranged at intervals along the longitudinal direction of the combined beam bridge; the first longitudinal beam and the second longitudinal beam, the first The first longitudinal beam and the second longitudinal beam are fixedly arranged above the support beam at intervals, the first longitudinal beam is located on the side close to the combined beam bridge, and the second longitudinal beam is located on the side away from the combined beam bridge; Laying on the top of the first longitudinal girder and the second longitudinal girder, there are multiple access slabs, and the multiple access slabs extend along the longitudinal bridge direction of the combined girder bridge. The supporting beams, the first longitudinal beam and the second longitudinal beam of the external support beam type inspection road of the present invention are all made of steel structure materials, and the inspection road board adopts prefabricated slabs made of concrete materials, which can significantly reduce the structure The self-weight is lower, the cost of materials is reduced, and the construction is convenient.

The invention relates to a process of manufacturing novel bond beam, which includes the following steps: 1. cutting steel plate; 2. forming steel structure plate unit with steel plates; 3. assembling steel structure beam section with steel structure plate units; 4. regulating the line profile of the beam section, pre-assembling and correcting errors; 5. setting formwork on steel structure beam section, depositing concrete and curing to form concrete panel and bond beam; 6. pre-stress stretching the concrete panel; 7. boring and trial assembling the steel structure beam sections at the lower part of adjacent bond beams; and 8. disassembling the pre-assembled steel structures, painting, transporting to site and site assembling. The said process can prevent deformation of bolt holes caused by stretching after drilling holes.

The invention discloses a large-span step-by-step cantilevered diagonal bracing structure based on an upper pull-down and lower embedded structure and a construction method thereof. , tie beams (4) and prestressed tendons (5); the bottom of the load steel frame column is fixed in the negative layer (100), and the top of the load steel frame column is fixed on the roof layer (200); On the load steel frame column (1) of the first floor (300), the eccentric angle of the diagonal brace and the load steel frame column is formed between the diagonal brace and the load steel frame column; the steel frame beams are connected by tie beams and set on the load steel frame columns to form the structure of the building. For several levels, the diagonal braces extend upwards to the top floor and are fixed with the steel beams of each level through tie beams to form a step-by-step cantilever structure; the prestressed tendons are anchored on the fixed structural columns (201), and the prestressed tendons are set Steel beams and anchored. The invention can meet the architectural requirements of the oblique shape of the large-span cantilevered step by step in the building structure through the construction technology of pulling up and inserting diagonal braces.
