An assembly for wall covering, includes a fastening structure provided with a body, an anchoring face, recesses having an insertion portion, two facing parallel upper reception portions, two facing parallel lower reception portions, and two support blocks, each block bordered in part by one of the upper and lower edges of the insertion portion and by the upper and lower reception portions. A fastening interface is configured to be attached to a covering element and to be mounted on the structure, which interface includes three branches, two of these branches projecting from a first branch configured to be inserted into the insertion portion then slid against a face of the body along a block and with the other branches being configured to be received in the upper or lower portions.

Assembly for wall covering

A building structure comprising a paper strip formed into a cylindrical shape by spirally winding the same and securing adjacent opposed portions thereof by means of adhesives. The building structure has a peeling strength of not less than 13.0 kg/cm.sup.2 and a compression strength of not less than 250 kg/cm.sup.2, which can be used for manufacturing interior and exterior walls of buildings in simple steps, rapidly and at a reduced manufacturing cost.

Building structure

A structural furniture in which at least a portion thereof has a strength required for a structural member and constitutes a structural member bearing loads in a vertical direction and a lateral direction. Back plate constituents made of structural plywoods are stood vertically in parallel with each other on bottom plates and side plates 4 are stood vertically being joined at a right angle to the back plate constituent members 3 so as to form a U-shaped lateral cross section.

Structural furniture

A multipurpose arena with a suspended roof and an interior which can be adjusted to accommodate events requiring different space arrangements. The roof is made of sections suspended between opposed supporting pylons and assumes a catenary shape. Rail-mounted, motor-driven, stands can be shifted from place to place depending on the event or events being catered. Partitions divide the arena into separate private compartments wherein separate events can be held simultaneously in each compartment.

Ultra-high multi-story buildings and construction thereof

An elasto-plastic damper adapted to be used in a structure for absorbing vibration energy created by earthquake tremors and other ground vibrations. The damper is formed from flat plates to simplify design and to minimize costs. The damper may be used in combination to absorb vibration energy impacting the structure from different directions.

Elasto-plastic damper

A space tension chord arch member dome reinforced with tension members and method of construction. Maximum building space is ensured by using tension chord members, which reduces the material costs and simplifies assembly of the dome. The system permits use of laminated wood for the arch members of the dome superstructure.

An elasto-plastic damper is adapted to be used in a structure, such as a building and other facilities, for absorbing vibration energy created by earthquake tremors and other ground vibrations. The damper is a centrally bulged and generally cone-shaped hollow body of revolution so that its section modulus changes substantially porportional to a bending moment created in the damper body due to horizontal stresses, thus permitting a maximum degree of deformability. This elasto-plastic damper is compact in size and demonstrates a high degree of vibrational energy absorbability.
