BUILDING METAL FRAME, AND METHOD OF MAKING, AND COMPONENTS THEREFOR INCLUDING COLUMN ASSEMBLIES AND FULL-LENGTH BEAM ASSEMBLIES

摘要

A column assembly module for a building framework includes a vertically elongate column member defining a horizontal dimension. A pair of horizontally spaced vertically and horizontally extending side plate members span the horizontal dimension of the column member and project together and generally in parallel therefrom. A full-length beam assembly is adapted to be disposed between the pair of projecting side plate members to be connected thereto providing a beam-to-column joint assembly. The full-length beam assembly includes a full-length beam member defining an end gap between an adjacent end of the full-length beam member and the column member. The pair of side plate members include a reinforcing member spanning the end gap and attached to an outer surface of the side plate members.
