Panelized structural system for building construction

摘要

A method of constructing a building includes fastening a first structural truss panel to a first structural column. A second structural column is fastened vertically to the first structural column. A second structural truss panel is fastened to the second structural column so that the second structural truss panel is vertically above the first structural truss panel, so that a clearance is defined between the first and second structural truss panels, and so that loads on the structural truss panels are transferred from the first and second structural truss panels to the first and second structural columns and then vertically between the first and second columns. Other construction methods, structural panels, and building sections are also disclosed.

主权项

1. A building section comprising:
a first structural column having a top connector and a bottom connector; a second structural column having a top connector and a bottom connector, wherein the top connector of the first structural column is connected to the bottom connector of the second structural column so that the first and second structural columns align vertically; a first structural truss panel attached to the first structural column; and, a second structural truss panel attached to the second structural column such that the first and second structural truss panels transfer loads on the first and second structural truss panels laterally to the first and second structural columns and then vertically through the first and second structural columns, wherein a clearance exists between the first and second structural truss panels and between the first and second structural truss panels and any floor connected to the first and second structural truss panels such that load is not transferred between the first and second structural truss panels.
