A wooden structure building self-constructing method includes the operations of: (a) assembling a first kit by disposing N (N is a natural number) second modules of a second shape each including one or more second fitting portions cut out to a second length (d2) in the direction of the center thereof between two first modules of a first shape each including one or more first fitting portions cut out to a first length (d1) in the direction of the center thereof; and (b) assembling a second kit by disposing N fourth modules of a fourth shape each including one or more fourth fitting portions cut out to a fourth length (d4) in the direction of the center thereof between two third modules of a third shape each including one or more third fitting portions cut out to a third length (d3) in the direction of the center thereof.

According to an example embodiment of the present disclosure, there is provided a self-building kit system including a first kit. The first kit includes: first modules of a first shape having two modules disposed opposite each other, and each including one or more first fitting portions cut out to a first length (d1) in the direction of the center thereof; and second modules of a second shape having N (N is a natural number) modules disposed between the two first modules, and each including one or more second fitting portions cut out to a second length (d2) in the direction of the center thereof. The second length (d2) is equal to or shorter than the first length (d1).

A method for constructing wooden framing for a structure is provided. The method includes locating a base on a horizontal surface, providing a wooden vertical framing support element on the base, installing a horizontal support member between the wooden vertical framing support element and one other wooden vertical framing support element, adjusting at least one of the base and the wooden vertical framing support element to have precise spacing between the wooden vertical framing support element and the one other wooden vertical framing support element, and securing the base to the horizontal surface and the wooden vertical framing support element to the base.

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.

A connector joins a beam to a header, the connector has two members with mating portions. The mating members are provided with projections and slots that engage each other and transmit gravity loads between the members.

A prefabricated steel-wood composite joint includes square pipe columns, steel-wood composite beams, and a beam-column connecting assembly for connecting the square pipe columns and the steel-wood composite beams. Each square pipe column includes connecting corner columns and connecting side plates. Each steel-wood composite beam includes a top flange, a bottom flange and wood webs for connecting the top flange and the bottom flange. The beam-column connecting assembly is a central column connecting assembly or a corner column connecting assembly. By a special structural design, the composite joint realizes effective beam-column connection without a welded connection and a bolted connection and has tenacity and good seismic performance. The components of the composite joint can be prefabricated in a factory, are high in precision and are assembled on site, so that construction is easy and convenient, procedures are simplified, and the construction period is effectively shortened.
