The present Stacked Wall Truss Construction and its use in multi-story buildings makes use of prefabricated modular wall elements (100) that are interconnected in three dimensions to enable the rapid completion of building construction with improved quality of construction over that found in traditional multi-story building construction. The resultant building is a structural steel frame without the use of stacking columns. Vierendeel trusses (100) with vertical members (101-105) of tube steel are used, thereby the construction process becomes stacking trusses fit up as complete walls, not erecting columns. An inner Mating Member (131-135) enables each truss to be near perfectly positioned on top of the installed truss below.

The present Stacked Wall Truss Construction and its use in multi-story buildings makes use of prefabricated modular wall elements (100) that are interconnected in three dimensions to enable the rapid completion of building construction with improved quality of construction over that found in traditional multi-story building construction. The walls are created with stacking modular elements to form a vertically continuous structure, and Floor Modules (161,162) are supported by a Floor Shelf (141-144) at predetermined elevations to provide a solid surface on top of which a Topping Slab (1031,1032) of concrete is poured which fills the space between the Floor Module and the Wall Trusses to create an integral structure.

A cladding of a modular frame structure, of the type used for assembling complex frames of buildings by interconnecting module frames identifying an outer wall of the building, is provided. Each module frame has a substantially parallelepiped shape and it is identified by longitudinal, vertical and transversal beams joining at respective angles. The cladding includes respective inner panels the edges thereof are wholly sustained inside said beams, including the overlapping of a pair of layers: a first bearing layer facing outwards, and a second insulating thermal layer facing inwards; outer panels in contact with the inner panels include a box-like reinforcement, which defines the inner face, having a compensation foil made of compressible material, rested on an inner panel, and an outer face having a plurality of fastening pins infixed in the wall of the reinforcement; and a flat element of outer finishing, forming an air gap.

A building is constructed from a plurality of rectangular wall sections secured to one another. At least some wall sections are formed of an upper and a lower beam, vertical studs extending between the upper and lower beams and a wall panel secured to the beams and to the studs. In the invention, each beam is formed of an elongate metal sheet folded through a right angle about at least one longitudinally extending line to define at least a horizontal first plate, and a vertical second. A plurality of separately formed sheet metal brackets are secured to at least one of the plates of the folded metal sheet at preset distances from one another along the length of the beam and secured to the ends of the studs.

Deck components comprising a post sleeve and flanges extending away from side walls of the post sleeve are described. The post sleeve includes a rectangular cross section. Interior flanges can comprise attachment holes for affixing the interior flanges to box-frame-segments having square-cut edges. Box-frame-segments and box-frame-segment attachments with square-cut edges can abut the exterior surface of a post sleeve side wall. Use of the post sleeve can reduce or eliminate the need to produce beveled joints box-frame-segments and box-frame-segment attachments. Post sleeves can comprise a post sleeve extension extending above box-frame-segments that attach to the flanges of the post sleeve. The post sleeve and post sleeve extension can comprise a single metal extrusion. Alternatively, the post sleeve extension can be attached to the post sleeve. In one example, a post sleeve extender is placed into a post sleeve and the post sleeve extension is placed onto the post sleeve extender.

The invention relates to a building structure comprising pillar units, beam units including main beam units and floor slab units, the floor slab unit comprises a floor slab template layer and a floor slab framework unit; the beam unit comprises a beam template layer of concrete and the beam framework unit; the pillar unit comprises a pillar framework unit, the pillar framework unit comprises a pillar keel unit and support legs; the pillar framework unit comprises a pillar keel unit and support legs; the longitudinal section steel major keels supported on the main beam major keels and the steel bars protruding out of the floor slab template layer in the side direction are placed above the main beam units; the cells are formed between the adjacent beam units; more than one floor slab units are installed in each cell. The advantages of the invention are no support frames, no removing the template.

A building system may include an external structural frame which includes a plurality of columns and beam, a diaphragm which includes a plurality of floor panels, each of the plurality of floor panels having a longitudinal direction and a transverse direction. The plurality of floor panels are supported by a plurality of diaphragm beams arranged along the transverse direction, and a coupling between each of the transverse beams and the external structural frame, wherein loads are transmitted from the diaphragm to the external structural frame only via the couplings between the transverse beams and the external structural frame.

Premanufactured structures for constructing buildings comprise a construction system for an energy efficient multi-story building with standard single or mixed units. The multi-story building is constructed using premanufactured structures: non-weight bearing walls with finished exterior including all electrical, insulating, plumbing and communications components that are premanufactured at a site distant from a building site, and the non-weight bearings walls are attached to a floor and ceiling slabs, interfacing with each other to enclose units of the building; interior components that are premanufactured at a remote site to connect to inside portions of the non-weight bearing walls; and exterior components that are premanufactured at the remote site to attach to exterior surfaces of the building. Non-weight bearing walls, interior components, and exterior components are installed and connected together to provide the energy efficient multi-story building with units with different floor plans, and optionally, a retail level with underground parking.
