PURPOSE: To raise capacity for resisting a transitory excess load by connecting one or both of diagonal tension members on a roof or a side wall of a rectilinear building with a joint member. CONSTITUTION: At least two roof joists adjoining each other provided at a center or intersecting part of a building are connected with a pair of roof tension rod members 12, 13 crossing each other in a horizontal plane and provided inclinedly. A lining plate 16 is secured on a surface of a belly part 20 of a support member 22 of the roof joist or support post through a resilient pad 18 and a front plate 24 is secured an opposite side of the support member 22 so as to form a joint member 14. The lining plate 16, a resilient pad 16, the belly part 20 and a front plate 24 are fastened by four bolts 28 so as to connect the tension rod members 12, 13 with a support structure. Therefore, ductility capacity of the tension rod member for bearing a transitory load such as earthquake or the like can be raised. |
