摘要

A framing structure includes elements that are integrally connected by a poured bonding core. The elements include a hollow-interior column having an opening in a wall that allows access to the interior and a beam having a cavity that is configured to receive a pourable bonding material. The beam is positioned with respect to the column such that the cavity is aligned with the opening. Flooring sections are supported by the beams.
