A method and an arrangement for supporting a first beam between a first support structure and a second support structure in a building frame structure. The method includes securing the first beam to a first console against movement along the first console by means of a mechanical joint between the first console and the first beam, and the first console at a location between the beam supporting surface of the first console and the mechanical joint with a deforming section having increased deformability compared to the deformability of the first console at the beam supporting surface by reduced material dimensions in said deforming section of the first console compared to the material dimensions of the first console at the beam supporting surface.

A connection means for building components is described. According to the invention, a connection means can be arranged opposite on the external surface of a building component, having a body, this body comprising a case and containing at least one filling material within said case, where said filling material is more elastic than the material forming said case, said case and said filling material being adapted to receive at least one through anchoring element which can be fixed to said building element.

A bracket assembly isolates shear forces from fasteners to realize the full tensile load capability of the fasteners. The fasteners extend from a base plate and are embedded within a structure such as a poured concrete wall. Receptacles defined by the base plate receive bosses which extend from a mounting plate which overlies the base plate. The fasteners also retain the mounting plate to the base plate. Shear forces applied in the plane of the mounting plate are reacted between the bosses and the receptacles, the fasteners being isolated from the shear forces using oversized holes in the mounting plate to ensure that the fasteners experience primarily tensile loads.

A beam-column joint of a concrete precast column and a construction method thereof, including: obtaining a hoop plate, in which an inner side of the hoop plate is provided with studs; welding a circumferential reinforcing plate in the hoop plate; arranging longitudinal bars and stirrups for bundling the longitudinal bars; pouring the upper precast column and the lower precast column with the circumferential reinforcing plates in the two hoop plates as the boundary support formwork; welding the hoop plate of the upper precast column with the hoop plate of the lower precast column; arranging a horizontal beam at the hoop plate, and connect the horizontal beam with the hoop plate. The upper precast column and the lower precast column are connected by welding hoop plate; the hoop plate is used to connect the precast column and the horizontal beam.

An apparatus, system, and method is provided to connect precast concrete panels to a structural member. The connector can have a receiving member embedded in a precast concrete panel and can further have an attachment member that selectively interconnects to the receiving member. This attachment member can have a surface that is oriented substantially perpendicular to the precast concrete panel and that receives or supports a structural member such as a floor joist or a second precast concrete panel. The configuration of a protrusion of the attachment member allows for a rapid and secure interconnection with an aperture in the receiving member. A builder can use the connector system described herein to rapidly and securely assemble multiple precast concrete panels to structural members in the construction of, for example, a parking garage or other similar structure.

A steel beam and a supporting arrangement for supporting a steel beam at console, the steel beam including a base plate, two web parts, and an end plate at each end of the steel beam. The base plate, the two web parts and the end plates delimit a space. At least one of the ends of the steel beam includes a console supporting slot extending from the at least one end of the steel beam. The console supporting slot is laterally at least partly limited by side plates inside the space of the steel beam, and by the side plates are attached to the end plate and to the base plate.

A dry process connected energy-consuming beam column joint based on a corbel includes a prefabricated concrete corbel column, pre-buried steel plates and connecting steel plates, wherein the corbel section of the prefabricated concrete corbel column is stepped, and a notch section of a prefabricated concrete notch beam is matched with the stepped section of the corbel and is in lap joint to the stepped section; the pre-buried steel plates are separately pre-buried on the upper and lower surfaces of the corbel and the prefabricated concrete notch beam, friction plates are arranged outside the pre-buried steel plates, and slight tooth spaces are arranged on the sides, facing the pre-buried steel plates, of the friction plates; and the connecting steel plates are arranged on the left and right sides of the prefabricated concrete notch beam and the corbel lap joint section.

Precast Building Construction System A building construction system uses precast concrete panels (10) interconnected in an array to provide both floor and ceiling of a multi-unit building. Each panel has a reinforced precast concrete slab having an upper surface (12) and downstands (18, 20) providing a continuous enclosure beneath the floor surface. Grooved voids (44, 58) are preformed into the upper and lower surface of the downstands for receiving connectors (54, 56, 57 or 60, 62, 66 and 50, 52) for connecting adjacent panels. Preformed recesses (19) are provided at the edges of the panel for connecting the panels together and creating grouted shear keys (59).
