A structural shear panel for forming a floor panel for support by a vehicle frame is formed by a composite of top and bottom sheets and a core with a vacuum infused resin. The core is formed of top and bottom layers each formed from a honeycomb panel defining an array of hexagonal tubular cells with walls which extend in the thickness direction filled with a foam material. A third layer is located between the first and second layers and is formed of a material such as foam, rubber or cork which is free from tubular cells in the thickness direction and free from rigid structural members in the thickness direction to reduce communication of sound through the panel.

Spaced-apart blocks are interconnected by planar sheets. Thus, different configurations for the toy building blocks can be obtained. A simple geometric shape can be provided which is capable of interlocking in different directions and is capable of a choice of framing pieces. Retrofit interconnecting elements can be provided which facilitate the addition of planar members to the construction.

A system of prefabricated modular components, designed to fit and connect together using no tools other than human hands, allowing persons with little or no construction experience to assemble floored/partitioned/roofed structures of variable shape and surface area. Flooring panels are inserted and secured into flooring frames that have been inserted and secured into frame connectors. Flooring frames may be anchored into an outdoor installation surface for long term use. Certain configurations of the frame connector allow for the installation of variable height partition supports, as well as partition panels. A special configuration of the flooring frame allows for wheeled implement/conveyance access to the floored surface from the surrounding surface. Open, unfloored areas may be created within the periphery of a structure. Roof Panels are installed onto and supported by Roof Brackets, Roof Beams and Integrated Gutter Sections. Precipitation is conveyed to Downspout Pipes and Fittings via Downspouts.
