Abstract: A panel structure of a steel house built by constructing multi-story structural frameworks by forming wall panels by fastening face members to rectangular frames of light-gage channels of sheet steels, constructing walls of each story by disposing said wall panels along the four sides of a rectangle, and assembling said wall panels and a floor panel consisting of a wall plate mounted on floor joists, the panel structure characterized in that side ends of said floor panel are connected to the inner upper end of the wall panels of the lower story, and the end edges of the wall panels of the upper and lower stories on at least two opposite sides of said four sides are butt-joined.

Abstract: The present invention provides a joining structure of a roof truss using thin light-gauge shaped steel. In a joining structure for joining a subsidiary roof with a main roof, a valley bracket formed by bending a thin steel sheet is inserted and disposed in the longitudinal valley direction of a joining member for joining a rafter forming the subsidiary roof with a truss or a rafter forming the main roof. In a joining structure in which a roof truss upper chord member or a rafter intersects a wall on the upper surface of the wall, a bracket formed by bending a thin steel sheet is disposed at the intersection of these members and fixes the roof truss upper chord member or the rafter to the wall.

Abstract: The present invention provides construction configurations and a construction method for steel houses that eliminate the shortcoming of the conventional platform construction method for steel houses that complicates the structure because of the need to use metal reinforcements without losing the advantage of the conventional method that facilitates the construction work by using wall panels. After constructing the ground story wall (lower story wall) 22 by attaching wall panels 21 for the ground story to through vertical frame studs 20 extending to upper floors, the second story wall (upper story wall) 23 is constructed by attaching wall panels 21 for the upper story to the through vertical frame studs 20. Of the wall panels 21 disposed along the four sides of the lower story, the top ends 29 of the two opposite wall panels 21b are positioned lower than the top ends 29a of the lower story wall panels 21a on the other two opposite sides.

Abstract: The present invention provides a joint fitting between members of a simple structure with few parts and able to transmit stress of both compressive force and tensile force and a joint structure and method of joining using that joint fitting, that is, a joint fitting 1 between members connecting an upper floor vertical frame members 11 and lower floor vertical frame members 11 and transmitting compressive force and tensile force, the joint fitting 1 between members provided with a metal connection member body having a length enabling it to be arranged bridging the upper floor vertical frame member 11 and lower floor vertical frame member 11 in a vertical orientation and joint parts 3 for directly joining with these vertical frame members at its two ends, the joint parts 3 of the joint fitting 1 arranged at the upper and lower floors being brought into contact with the vertical side surfaces of the different floor vertical frame members 11 and fastened by drill screws 24 screwed in bridging the joint parts 3 an

Abstract: This invention provides a reinforcing construction for a wall opening in a steel house capable of suppressing shearing stress to a low level while keeping, especially, the initial rigidity at a high level. Each side face wall 73 is so arranged as to be clamped between a vertical wall panel 71 and a wainscot panel 72. An opening upper frame member 57 to which a lower end of the vertical panel 71 is fixed and an opening lower frame member 54 to which an upper end of the wainscot panel 72 is fixed are fixed through metal joint 81 to each transverse frame member constituting a side face wall frame member 64 to which the side face wall 73 is fixed.

Abstract: The present invention provides a joint fitting between members of a simple structure able to transmit stress of both compressive force and tensile force and a joint structure and method of joining, that is, a joint fitting 1 between members comprising a single bolt 4 having a length enabling it to be arranged vertically oriented bridging an upper floor vertical frame member and a lower floor vertical frame member at intervals along the axial direction of which bolt joint hardware 7 to be fastened to vertical frame members of the floors arranged at the upper floor side and lower floor side and having side opening groove cross-sections are arranged, the side opening grooves in the joint hardware 7 being able to detachably receive the bolt, and the joint hardware 7 being attached to be able to be fastened positioned along the longitudinal direction of the bolt 4, the joint hardware arranged at the upper and lower floors in the joint hardware being butted against vertical side surfaces of the vertical frame membe

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for assembling structural members of thin and lightweight shaped steel, the thin and lightweight shaped-steel members to be assembled having at least one joint hole or concave/convex portion at an appropriate position of a flange or web of the thin and lightweight shaped steel member, and temporarily joining portions of the thin and lightweight shaped steel members to each other for easy assembly.

Abstract: The present invention provides a joint structure for a building using thin and lightweight shaped-steel, and, in particular, provides a joint structure for fastening and fixing frame members made of thin and lightweight shaped-steel to steel sills and a bolt joint truss structure for forming a main structure of a roof, sufficiently durable against a large earthquake or a strong wind such as a typhoon. A joint structure of a building using thin and lightweight shaped-steel is provided wherein, in a joint portion for fastening a steel frame member for forming a wall to a steel floor sill, a steel reinforcing member having a cross-sectional area in a range from 70 to 100% of a cross-sectional area of the steel frame member is inserted into the joint portion and fixed thereto.
