An insulated structural truss panel, comprising: a rectangular panel body formed of a rigid foam material and a parallel arrangement of at least first and second trusses embedded longitudinally within the panel body at predetermined on-center spacings between and parallel to the first and second sides.

A structural building component for a residential or light commercial building includes a PV laminate and a plastic frame disposed at least around the PV laminate. The plastic frame includes a first electrical connector for communication with the PV laminate and receptive to electrical connection with a contiguous PV laminate. The first electrical connector is configured to facilitate electrical and mechanical connection with the contiguous PV laminate and the frame includes a means for facilitating attachment to the building structure.

Systems and methods providing a modular building having pre-fabricated panel wall components are easily assembled to form a predetermined structure including energy efficient corner modular components that provide for seamless, energy-efficient corners with structural strength.

A building response function defining a response of a building to specific environmental change, e.g., occurrence of a fire, in terms of the building structure, is stored in a computer. Also stored is a refuge motion function defining the refuge motion of individuals in terms of attributes of the individuals and the building response. The building response is computed by substituting design values of the building structure into the response function. Attributes of persons are inputted to the computer, and individuals' refuge motion is computed by using both inputted attributes and the computed building response. With the inputted and computed values, three-dimensional (3D) simulation images of the building structure, of the building response, and of individuals' refuge motion are computed. Then, a superposed 3D simulation image of the three images is displayed to facilitate analysis of the building performance.

The invention discloses an early-removal formwork system for concreting of constructions comprising beams, plates and columns. The early-removal formwork system comprises a plurality of rectangular standard forms, a plurality of early-removal support columns, a plurality of auxiliary beams and auxiliary forms. Each standard form comprises a face plate and a form frame, and the form frame is provided with L-shaped corner pieces at four corners. Each early-removal support column comprises an upper support column and a lower support column in telescopic connection, a rectangular top plate is disposed at the top end of the upper support column, one corner of the top plate and an internal corner of the optional L-shaped corner piece on each form frame are complementary, an unloading mechanism is connected between the upper support column and the lower support column, an early removal mechanism for early removal of the standard forms is disposed on the upper support column, short support posts for supporting one form frame are disposed at four corners of the early removal mechanism, and a structure for preventing the corresponding form frame to slip out is formed between each short support post and the corresponding L-shaped corner piece. The form frames, the auxiliary forms, the auxiliary beams and suspension beams are all in removal combined structures. The early-removal formwork system has the advantages that no secondary auxiliary beam or secondary auxiliary form is needed, specifications and amount of forms are reduced, transport and storage are facilitated, volume and capacity can be reduced effectively, and material management and cost reduction are benefited.
