Appl. No.:

6/677345

Inventors:

Robert Boehmig - Atlanta GA

International Classification:

E04G 2114

US Classification:

52745

Abstract:

The method of constructing single story building structures involves installing upon a prepared ground surface an array of upstanding load-supporting columns in spaced parallel lines and transverse parallel rows to define bays between adjacent column lines and define a rectangular panel area between each group of four columns at the corners of each such area. Primary and secondary panels are assembled in the panel areas at a convenient working height near the ground surface with the primary panels to form the roof structure over alternate bays and the secondary panels to form the roof structure for the bays intermediate these alternate bays. Each primary panel includes beams of a length to extend between adjacent columns in a line of columns, the beams being located at each end of the primary panel, and spaced joists secured perpendicularly to these beams with joist bridging secured perpendicularly of such joists. Each secondary panel includes spaced parallel joists temporarily secured perpendicularly of the beams of the primary panels in adjacent alternate bays and joist bridging secured perpendicularly of the secondary panel joists. The endmost joists of each panel are spaced inwardly of the ends of the beams.

International Classification:

E04B 135

US Classification:

Abstract:

A joint for attaching a horizontal beam to a vertical column in either a shear connection or a moment connection. A continuous beam is manufactured comprising main beam portions in end-to-end alignment with the opposed ends spaced to define the ends of joint openings. A pair of opposed channel members define the sides of each joint opening, the channel members being attached to said main beam portions by moment connections. The vertical column extends through the joint opening, and the channel members are bolted to the column (shear connection) or welded to the column (moment connection).
