  • Prefabricated building structure
    Patent number: 4332116
    Abstract: A building, constructed from prefabricated building components, where the roof and floor components are formed from substantially similar triangle-shaped components. The roof and floor components are sequentially assembled and integrally fastened to the center support column of the building, so that the plan view of the building structure has the form of a polygon.The floor components are each supported at the perimeter of the polygon by vertically adjustable support columns which allow for construction of the building on uneven terrain with minimum site preparation. The roof components are supported at the perimeter of the polygon by fixed vertical posts, between which posts may be included structural prefabricated wall components.
