Abstract: A bracket system creates a cost-effective way to build large clear spans in shipping container structures. The system efficiently joins four shipping containers along the longitudinal corner edges, with the containers set adjacent one another, to create a compound beam made by combining or coupling both top rails of the two lower containers and bottom rails of the top containers. A single T-bracket mounts onto pre-installed angle brackets on the raised containers, and a fastener is set through the lower plate to the T-bar joining the lower containers. The bracket system may be iterative and used to combine multiple pairs, or single, containers on top of or beside the initial set.
