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 structural connector comprising at least one spigot and at least one socket wherein at least a portion of the at least one spigot is tapered and at least a portion of the at least one socket is a complimentary tapered configuration.

A splice joint of a main girder of a crane, the main girder including at least two longitudinal main girder parts to be connected to each other by their ends and each having a central web which includes at least one web plate, longitudinal upper and lower flanges, the lower flange protruding from the central web to both sides thereof. The splice joint includes a plate-like tongue-and-groove joint, the tongue-and-groove joint including a tongue fixed to the central web of a main girder part, and a groove fixed to the central web of a second main girder part; and a lower flange joint receiving the bending forces of the splice joint. The tongue-and-groove joints are arranged reversed in relation to each other, and the location of the tongues and grooves on opposite sides of the web is reverse in relation to each other.

A framing system includes a first connection assembly that engages with a substrate. The first connection assembly includes a first connector and a track. At least one spring flange defined by the first connector engages with a fastener positioned along the substrate to maintain the first connection assembly in a fixed position relative to the substrate and to interconnect the substrate with the track. The framing system further includes a second connection assembly defining a second connector engaged to a stud. The second connection assembly engages with the first connection assembly to interconnect the stud with the track.

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 standardized structural metal plug assembly that, when welded to metal columns and beams, allows to join them together into a bi-axial moment connection without bolts or on-site welding. The plug is assembled in a gravity and interlocking fashion. It is composed of one flange cruciform joint that works as a “male” outward component that channels the beam's “female” inward bracket into its seated and locked position. The column terminals also act as “female” inward component that slips and seats over the flange cruciform joint ends. All the components are lock-in-place to the flange cruciform joint due to various mechanical locking latches attached to the beam brackets and column terminals.

A framing system includes a first connection assembly that engages with a substrate. The first connection assembly includes a first connector and a track. At least one spring flange defined by the first connector engages with a fastener positioned along the substrate to maintain the first connection assembly in a fixed position relative to the substrate and to interconnect the substrate with the track. The framing system further includes a second connection assembly defining a second connector engaged to a stud. The second connection assembly engages with the first connection assembly to interconnect the stud with the track.

A building construction, comprising: one or more studs protruding from a building façade; at least a partially constructed balcony; cooperating means for hooking the balcony into position relative to the studs to locate the balcony; the cooperating means comprising: a pin mounted to the one or more studs or a part connected thereto extending in a generally horizontal direction substantially parallel to the building façade when the stud is affixed in a wall of the building; and a slot provided on the balcony extending in a generally vertical disposition, whereby the balcony can be located into position by locating the pin within the slot, the slot extending upwards from a bottom portion of the balcony.

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.
