High strength grid member for suspended ceilings
10106982 · 2018-10-23 · ·

A high-strength grid member is provided that comprises two standard Tee-shaped grid members that are vertically aligned to form an I-beam configuration with the strengthening bulbs of each being spaced apart. A plurality of clips is secured to the spaced-apart bulbs by means of fasteners to secure the two grid members together.

Deck framing system

Embodiments of the present disclosure include a deck framing system formed of light gauge steel. The thickness of the light gauge steel components may be different among particular components depending on the load carried by the particular component and depending on the forming method for fabrication of the particular component. The deck framing system includes a ledger in which bracket slots are formed. The bracket slots are spaced apart from each other along a length of the ledger. Each bracket slot receives a joist support bracket. Each of the joist support brackets are received within an end of a joist. According to certain embodiments, the joists are generally in a closed box-like shape. The deck surface is laid on top of and supported by the joists.

20180144075 · 2018-05-24 ·

A thin wall profile member (TPM) with a cross-sectional shape and dimensions constant along its length is pre-constructed for use as a load carrying, weight optimized structural element. The TPM has at least one main strip having longitudinal reinforcing ribs and at least one additional strip having longitudinal reinforcing ribs. The at least one additional strip has a width that does not exceed a width of the at least one main strip and has a thickness that equals or exceeds a thickness of the at least one main strip. A ratio of the width of the at least one additional strip to the width of the at least one main strip is in the range of 0.05 to 1.0. A ratio of the thickness of the at least one additional strip to the thickness of the at least one main strip is in the range of 1.0 to 5.0.
