<p>A building frame resistant to earthquakes, gale-force wind loads, fire, insects and rot includes a peripheral frame wall made of side wall frame modules (36) bolted together along adjacent edges, and end wall modules (36) bolted together along adjacent edges and to the ends of the connected side wall modules. The side wall frame modules (36) are constructed of rectangular steel tubing jig welded together off site in a welding shop at precisely 90° angles so that the asssembled building frame is square and true. Diagonal bracing is built into selected side and end wall modules as required for the desired degree of wind resistance (Fig. 3D). Trusses (30) for supporting a roof on the peripheral wall, also made of 2X2 inch square steel tubing, are assembled and welded in the welding shop and the trusses and wall modules are trucked to the building site.</p> |
