FRAMING STUDS FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF BUILDING STRUCTURES

摘要

A composite wood joist for the construction of building structures is comprised of an elongated straight main member and a transverse elongated web piece connected thereto. Both the main member and the web piece are of rectangular cross-section with the web piece being secured along a narrow flat end face of the main member. The web piece is dimensioned and disposed to extend beyond the opposed flat side faces of the main member to define opposed wing sections. The web piece also has a width which is narrower than the width of the main member and it provides an arresting force against longitudinal distortion of the straight elongated main member and improves the load bearing capacity thereof.
