Abstract: A hanger device and method for connecting together I-beams which have first and second flanges connected by a web. The hanger is constructed from a first bracket (20) having first and second side members (22, 24) and an intermediate member (26) connected between the side members which is capable of supporting a second flange of a first I-Beam. At least one second bracket (30) is provided, having first and second side members (32, 34) and an intermediate member (36) connected between the side members. The first and second side members are provided with fixing apertures (40a, b; 60a, b) arranged thereon to facilitate connection of the first and/or second side members to the first and/or second flanges of a second I-beam. The first and second side members of the first bracket are connected to each of the at least one second bracket(s) at the first side member thereof and at a pre-determined angle with respect to the first side member of the second bracket.
