Abstract: An eave connection assembly for a structural frame for a building which includes a sidewall stud having an outer vertical member and an inner vertical member. The eave connection assembly includes a truss with an end portion that has a generally vertically extending end member and a haunch plate secured to the end portion which has a predetermined vertical extent for attachment to the inner vertical member of the sidewall stud at a selective vertical position. An eave bracket is provided which has a generally vertically extending post having a predetermined vertical extent for attachment to the end member along a portion of the vertical extent of the post, and for attachment to the outer vertical member of the sidewall stud along another portion of the vertical extent of a post at a selective vertical position.

Abstract: A foundation, a footing of a foundation, and a method of constructing a foundation for a light gauge steel building structure wherein the footing has a vertical post portion with a foot portion secured to its lower end and a connecting portion extending form its upper end. The connecting portion is in the form of a pair of spaced light gauge steel strips extending on opposite sides of a foundation sill plate and having a sufficient vertical extent to allow securement of the strips to the foundation sill plate member at variations in the relative vertical disposition of the footing and a horizontally leveled foundation sill plate member. This variation is also accommodated by using self-tapping, self-threading screws that are secured through the connecting portion strips at locations determined after setting of the footings in relation to the relative positioning of the footings and the foundation sill plate members.
