A joint connection structure of a building framework includes a column assembly including a column and a pair of side plates attached to the column on opposite sides of the column and extending laterally outward from the column. A beam assembly includes a beam having an end portion received between the side plates. At least one of the column and the beam has an opening in an area between the side plates to provide access for bolting at least one of the side plates to one of the column and the beam. The opening is free of a fastener extending through the opening when the column assembly is attached to the beam assembly.

A built-up beam includes a pair of I-beams each having opposing flanges, a web that extends between the opposing flanges, a plurality of flange openings in each of the opposing flanges, a plurality of web openings in the web, and a plurality of bolt holes in one of the opposing flanges. The I-beams are stacked together flange-to-flange in a stacked beam configuration and a plurality of bolts extend through the plurality of bolt holes and secure the pair of I-beams together in the stacked beam configuration.

A truss system comprises at least one truss element of mutually parallel tube bodies (11, 12) which are mutually connected in a ladder element (10) by a system of shores (15, 16). The tube bodies (11, 12) are provided at opposite outer ends with coupling means (13) for a force-transmitting coupling to a further truss element. Ladder elements (10) are connected releasably to each other by form-stiff coupling elements (30).

A deck framing system includes a perimeter support member that has a joist support wall and a web wall extending perpendicularly from the joist support wall and an overhang wall extending perpendicularly from the web wall. First and second joist support brackets include a joist support portion and a pair of attachment wings, where each one of the pair of attachment wings contacting the web wall of the perimeter support member. First and second joists each include a deck support wall and a lower wall. The deck support walls of the first and second joists are disposed between the overhang wall and the joist support portions, and the lower walls are disposed between the joist support portions and the joist support wall.

A structural bracket assembly for a residential or commercial trellis. The structural bracket assembly comprises an aluminum mounting plate securable to a vertical wall having a support member extending outwardly therefrom at an angle and terminating with an end plate. Plywood is fastened to the top and the bottom of the support member. Roofing material is fastened to the upper piece of plywood, and a soffit panel is secured to the lower piece of plywood. A frieze board is secured to the vertical wall beneath the lower piece of plywood to conceal the mounting plate, and a hollow rafter tail is secured to the soffit panel. In one embodiment, the rafter tail is spaced apart from a support bracket by a cross beam.

A built-up beam includes a pair of I-beams each having opposing flanges, a web that extends between the opposing flanges, a plurality of flange openings in each of the opposing flanges, a plurality of web openings in the web, and a plurality of bolt holes in one of the opposing flanges. The I-beams are stacked together flange-to-flange in a stacked beam configuration and a plurality of bolts extend through the plurality of bolt holes and secure the pair of I-beams together in the stacked beam configuration.

The present technology relates to beams having a cross section defining a plurality of channels and assemblies comprising the beams. The beams can be used to form a beam assembly that is installed inside the truck bed of a pick-up truck. A ladder loader is pivotably secured to the beam assembly along either the driver side wall or the passenger side wall of the truck bed, with the ladder loader being pivoted between a stow position where the ladder loader is above the beam assembly, and a deployed position where the ladder loader is positioned outside either the driver side wall or the passenger side wall.

A clearspan structure including component systems, and methods of forming a clearspan structure including component systems, for mitigating hazards to personnel or equipment from explosions, fires, toxic material release, and other hazards in hazardous locations. The exemplary clearspan structure is also capable of withstanding environmental conditions such as snow loads and wind. The exemplary clearspan structure is, for example, a tent or fabric structure which includes a plurality of frame members forming a support system for the clearspan structure, and fabric roof portions and walls for enclosing the clearspan structure.

Disclosed is a terrace canopy, comprising a beam having a top side, a bottom side, an inner side and an outer side, and, in its cross-section, is provided with a screen cavity which is delimited by an upright inner side wall and a horizontal top wall and an internal space above the screen cavity. An upright wall extends from the end of the horizontal top wall. The beam comprises either a first closure profile for closing off the internal space or a wall profile attached to the upright wall and a second closure profile for closing off the internal space. Thus, multiple configurations of the beam are possible and an additional wall holder may be provided on the outer side of the screen cavity such that a double side wall infill is possible.

A built-up beam includes a pair of I-beams each having opposing flanges, a web that extends between the opposing flanges, a plurality of flange openings in each of the opposing flanges, a plurality of web openings in the web, and a plurality of bolt holes in one of the opposing flanges. The I-beams are stacked together flange-to-flange in a stacked beam configuration and a plurality of bolts extend through the plurality of bolt holes and secure the pair of I-beams together in the stacked beam configuration.
