A column bracket assembly is provided. The column bracket assembly comprises a bottom base bracket and a top base bracket, each including a bracket body adapted to receive an end of support element (e.g. a wooden column) and a mounting bracket/plate pivotally coupled to the bracket body and adapted to be coupled to a structural element (e.g. a footing, pile, header, beam etc.). The column bracket assembly optionally includes mounting brackets for installing cross brace brackets and/or tension rods to the bracket bodies. A method of installing the column bracket assembly, and a method of repairing, resettling, shoring, and/or leveling a structure with the column bracket assembly are also provided, along with structures comprising the column bracket assembly.

A system and method for creating a column for construction using bundled tube are provided. The column having a bottom portion, a middle portion, and a top portion. Each portion consists of a bundle of individual pillars, comprising a center pillar, a plurality of corner pillars, and a plurality of middle pillars. From the bottom portion of the column, addition pillars can be affixed on top of the pillars of the bottom portion, thus forming the middle and the top portion of the column. Each pillar can be secured to another component using a thread stepped dowel comprising of a base section, at least one middle section, and a tip section, with each section being progressively smaller in circumference than the last. The at least one middle section of the threaded stepped dowel further comprises thread spiraling around the outer surface of the at least one middle section.

A fractal structure system provides building components with different sizes, which a building component with the next smaller size can insert into or attach to a building component with the next larger size. Each building component has a plurality of channel walls radiating outwardly, and the plurality of channel walls forms a plurality of channels. Each building component further comprises an internal center bore, and the internal center bore includes a plurality of internal center bore corners aligning to said plurality of second channel walls. Different sizes of building components have the same cross sectional profile, which a fractal structure or pattern can be implemented with the different sizes of building components.

Disclosed herein is a steel thermal stud and method of manufacturing thereof. The steel thermal stud of the present invention can be used in load bearing and non-load bearing applications as a direct replacement for wood studs, however installed the same as traditional steel studs. The steel thermal stud is able to be insulated with a variety of insulation products depending on the application, and the stud discloses a superior thermal and acoustic properties while being much lighter than wood studs.
