  • Publication number: 20240417968
    Abstract: A locking assembly for use in building construction includes a locking body configured to be mounted on a first modular building unit and extend in a first direction away from the first modular building unit. The locking body is configured to receive and engage another locking assembly of a second modular building unit for locating the first modular building unit and the second modular building unit with respect to each other. A locking extension is configured to be mounted on the first modular building unit and extend in a second direction, opposite the first direction, away from the first modular building unit. The locking extension is configured to engage another locking body on a third modular building unit to lock the first modular building unit to the third modular building unit.

  • Patent number: 12031316
    Abstract: A joint connection structure of a building framework includes a column assembly including a column and a pair of gusset plates connected to the column on opposite sides of the column and extending laterally outward from the column. A beam assembly includes a beam having upper and lower flanges and an end portion received between the gusset plates. The beam assembly is bolted to the column assembly. A channel is attached to one of the column and beam to facilitate connection of the beam assembly to the column assembly. The channel defines an elongate slot for attaching the channel to said one of the column and beam.

  • Patent number: 11725378
    Abstract: A joint connection structure of a building framework includes a column assembly including a column and a pair of side plates attached to the column on opposite sides of the column and extending laterally outward from the column. A beam assembly includes a beam having an end portion received between the side plates. At least one of the column and the beam has an opening in an area between the side plates to provide access for bolting at least one of the side plates to one of the column and the beam. The opening is free of a fastener extending through the opening when the column assembly is attached to the beam assembly.

  • Patent number: 11332920
    Abstract: A prefabricated column assembly includes a hollow tubular column having a longitudinal axis. A gusset plate assembly includes a plurality of gusset plates connected to the column and extending laterally outward from the column in planes generally parallel to the longitudinal axis of the column. A first pair of the gusset plates extends laterally outward from the column along a first axis and defines a space for receiving an end portion of a first beam for mounting the first beam on the first pair of gusset plates. A second pair of the gusset plates extends laterally outward from the column along a second axis that is nonparallel and non-coincident with the first axis. The second pair of gusset plates defines a space for receiving an end portion of a second beam for mounting the second beam on the second pair of gusset plates to provide a bi-axial joint connection.

  • Patent number: 11021865
    Abstract: A joint connection structure of a building framework includes a column assembly including a column and a pair of gusset plates connected to the column on opposite sides of the column and extending laterally outward from the column. A full-length beam assembly includes a full-length beam having upper and lower flanges and an end portion received between the gusset plates. The full-length beam is bolted to the gusset plates of the column assembly to connect the full-length beam assembly to the column assembly. A brace has an end portion received between the gusset plates and makes an angle with the beam and with the column. The brace is bolted to the gusset plates at the end portion of the brace.
