A frame using tubular columns and tubular rafters of generally rectangular cross section. Columns are arranged parallel, spaced apart, opposed pairs that are connected by bolted-on girts to form wall frames. Rafters are arranged parallel, spaced apart, opposed pairs that are connected by bolted-on purlins to form roof frames. Inwardly facing sides of columns and rafters have pluralities of castellated holes. Outwardly facing sides of columns and rafters have another plurality of castellated holes. All connections for braces and crane lifts are made in the inwardly facing sides of the columns and rafters. Joints have either a ridge plate or a haunch plates, each plate with two bolt holes that may be pivot holes and additional bolt holes for securing the plates. Base plates have two pairs of parallel vertical spaced-apart flanges, each pair fitting within and releasably attachable to a column. Pairs may be arranged parallel or perpendicular.

Various implementations described herein are directed to a load bearing ledger fitting, a modular header beam, a perimeter safety deck, a multi-purpose bearing plate, and a mega-shore bearing plate of an integrated construction system.

A connector assembly, having an upper connector coupled to a lower connector and a gusset plate sandwiched between the upper and lower connectors. The upper and lower connectors allow for coupling to adjacent upper and lower connectors, respectively, allowing for addition of a modular unit to a pre-existing modular structure. Also, ways of coupling adjacent upper connectors and coupling of adjacent lower connectors when coupling a modular unit to a pre-existing modular structure are provided.

A waterproof and safety framing system is disclosed. The framing system includes a building defining an opening, a wall panel, and a framing assembly. The framing assembly includes receiver and a bottom track. The receiver is installed along an edge of the opening, with the receiver including a receiver bottom wall that defines a receiver ridge extending along a length of the receiver. The bottom track is attached to an edge of the wall panel and including a track bottom wall that defines a track ridge, with the receiver and the bottom track matingly engaging such that the bottom track overlays the receiver and the receiver ridge and the track ridge are proximal one another. The framing assembly is structured to prevent the wall panel from passing through the opening in a first direction.

An end panel bracket useful with a building panel system is provided. The end panel bracket comprises a base, a middle portion extending from the base, a shelf extending from the middle portion, a notch, and a ledge.

It consists of a set of pieces to be used in various combinations according to their specifications, which generates the structure of a house without using heavy construction equipment. This is possible because the pieces are completely made from an aluminum alloy, which generates reduced weight and cost. An innovative system of assemblies between the pieces ensures that only a couple of people can completely build the structure of their home in a practical and efficient way. After the construction of the structure, it is covered with staves of the same alloy which is mounted on supports connected to the structure.

All of this gives to whoever acquires this invention a legacy that has quality, practicality, aesthetics and easy assembly at reduced costs.

Provided are a module for separate conveyance, which is inexpensive and can easily be conveyed via any route, a structure for a plant, which uses the modules for separate conveyance, and a method of constructing the structure for a plant. A module for separate conveyance, to be conveyed in a separate manner and stacked at a construction site includes: column portions to be provided upright in a vertical direction; and a horizontal structural portion to be provided in a horizontal direction between the column portions. The horizontal structural portion directly separates tier spaces adjacent to each other in an up-and-down direction when the modules for separate conveyance are stacked.

A splice having a main body and one or more protrusions extending from the main body. The one or more protrusions can be operable to interfere with a rail when the main body is installed into an opening of the rail. The one or more protrusions may be operable to cut into a coating of the rail and form an electrical connection between the rail and the main body.

A multistory building construction system comprising at least one base plate comprising a centrally disposed sleeve extending vertically from a top surface thereof and configured to engage an interior portion of a bottom end of at least one first-floor column comprising a cap plate disposed on a top end thereof with a centrally disposed sleeve extending vertically therefrom configured to engage an exterior portion of a bottom end of at least one upper-floor column and configured to support a decking for a concrete floor and configured so that a top end of the sleeve may be used as a benchmark for pouring the concrete floor, the first-floor column and the upper-floor column further comprising at least one sheer tab for attachment of beams for support of the decking.

Various implementations described herein are directed to a load bearing ledger fitting, a modular header beam, a perimeter safety deck, a multi-purpose bearing plate, and a mega-shore bearing plate of an integrated construction system.
