An engineered wood structural system including multiple vertical structural elements (10) and multiple horizontal structural elements (20, 120), wherein multiple horizontal structural elements (20, 120) of the same floor level are supported on the same structural node and are rigidly connected to each other through an upper connector (40) at least partially overlapped, and attached, to all the horizontal structural elements (20, 120) supported in the structural node to transfer horizontal traction loads between the upper horizontal boards (21) of the connected horizontal structural elements (20, 120).

The present invention relates to a prefabricated construction system and method, for erecting constructions by means of the assembly of prefabricated structural elements obtained by cutting flat materials, forming structural nodes by means of coupling at least a first coupling configuration formed by first slots made in a plurality of parallel boards forming a first structural element with at least a second coupling configuration formed by second slots made in a plurality of parallel boards forming a second structural element, providing a structural core in the form of an array having interstitial openings going through it which allow the coupling of third and fourth coupling configurations of third and fourth structural elements.

A building framing system includes a floor portion or floor framing system, a wall portion or wall framing system, and a roof portion or roof framing system. Each framing system comprises a plurality of components. Each component defines a connection geometry for connecting one component to another. The connection geometries are such that mechanical or other similar fasteners are not required to hold the various components together; rather, the connection geometries connect the components and hold them in place with respect to one another. Further, the framing systems utilize pre-cut components such that the components of each framing system arrive onsite cut to a needed length and width and with the appropriate connection geometry.

A wooden structural joint is provided, including a wooden rectangular base member comprising, at one end, a removed center element, a plurality of removed center edge elements, and four intact corner elements, where the removed center element and the plurality of removed center edge elements are formed from vertical and horizontal cuts into the one end of the wooden rectangular base member, a plurality of horizontal members, each horizontal member having a height and further having a tab cut therein at one edge of the horizontal member, the tab cut at a percentage of the height such that all horizontal members fit securely together when assembled within the wooden rectangular base member, and a wooden rectangular top member having one end cut similar to the wooden rectangular base member.

The present invention relates to various building components (1) and building assemblies (100) as well as a method of production of a building component (1).

An engineered wood structural system including multiple vertical structural elements (10) and multiple horizontal structural elements (20, 120), wherein multiple horizontal structural elements (20, 120) of the same floor level are supported on the same structural node and are rigidly connected to each other through an upper connector (40) at least partially overlapped, and attached, to all the horizontal structural elements (20,120) supported in the structural node to transfer horizontal traction loads between the upper horizontal boards (21) of the connected horizontal structural elements (20, 120).

An engineered wood structural system including multiple vertical structural elements (10) and multiple horizontal structural elements (20, 120) wherein multiple horizontal structural elements (20, 120) of the same floor level are laterally adjacent slabs connected to each other through a perimetral region of the upper horizontal board of one slab attached to a perimetral region of the upper horizontal board of other laterally adjacent slab directly, through complementary staggered steps or through a joint connector, to transfer horizontal loads.

A building framing system includes a floor portion or floor framing system, a wall portion or wall framing system, and a roof portion or roof framing system. Each framing system comprises a plurality of components. Each component defines a connection geometry for connecting one component to another. The connection geometries are such that mechanical or other similar fasteners are not required to hold the various components together; rather, the connection geometries connect the components and hold them in place with respect to one another. Further, the framing systems utilize pre-cut components such that the components of each framing system arrive onsite cut to a needed length and width and with the appropriate connection geometry.

A frame truss made of two walls and a roof structure. Each of the two walls have an outer and inner chord. The outer and inner chords of each respective wall are not parallel, but the inner chords of the two walls are parallel to each other. The arrangement of the inner and outer chords of each wall creates an exterior overhang with respect to the ground. Each of the walls converge at their bases and are attached at their bases to a plate. The roof structure attaches to the top of each of the walls and spans between them creating a frame that can be assembled in conjunction with similar frames to construct a building system.

The architectonic spacer building system is a simplified prefabrication assembly using industrialized building system concept. The architectonic spacer building system for skeleton construction includes a spacer (2, 4, 6, 8, 10) having a predetermined shape for use in constructing modular form of building components, including a modular floor joist assembly (18), corner and crisscross junctions assembly (17, 19). The spacer acts as an anchored dowel connector (2, 10), composite key roof connector (22, 24, 26) and/or a bracing (2, 4, 6, 8) of adjoining wall panel (12).
