PREFABRICATED, DECONSTRUCTABLE, MULTISTORY BUILDING CONSTRUCTION

摘要

A kit and method for constructing a building. The kit includes premanufactured support members configured to be assembled together into a framework for supporting a floor. The framework can be a grade level framework or above grade framework. Premanufactured floor deck planks can include leveling assemblies for leveling the planks on the framework and/or clamping assemblies for securing the planks to the framework. Filler material can be inserted into the gaps between the floor planks and frame members to provide further support. The framework can include an arrangement of trusses and connection assemblies for providing two-way support to floor deck planks.

1. A method of constructing a multistory building, the method comprising:
assembling preformed support members into a framework for supporting a floor of the multistory building that extends generally in a horizontal plane. arranging preformed floor deck planks side by side on the framework to form said floor and so that threaded rods mounted on the support members extend through slots defined in the side-by-side arrangement of floor deck planks; and threadably tightening clamping assemblies onto the threaded rods to engage the floor deck planks and hold the floor deck planks in position relative to the framework.
