A system for constructing log structures includes a corner connection structure, a through-bolt clamping apparatus, an opening support structure, a butt joint connection structure, a log profile, and an exterior casing structure. The corner connection structure has overlap portions that are alternately interlaced with each other, a generally vertical slot extending through the overlap portions of the logs; and at least one spline provided i n the slot. The spline can have a locking rib, and the slot can have a corresponding transversely extending rib recess for receiving the locking ri b. The through-bolt clamping apparatus has a through-bolt extending along the height of the wall, a lower clamp arm coupled to the through-bolt and the bottom of the intersecting walls, and an upper clamp arm coupled to the through bolt and the top of the intersecting walls. The opening support structure has connectors positioned within the wall adjacent the opening for connecting vertically adjacent logs together, the connectors having a connector body with lower and upper log engagement portions, which engage vertically adjacent logs. The butt joint connection structure has a generall y vertical spline slot extending across the seam between the end faces of the first and the second logs, and a spline adapted to fit into the spline slot, a plurality of vertically oriented recesses in the spline, and fasteners provided in each recess. |
