  • Patent number: 11326344
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to structural panel systems, and in particular in-frame fluted panel systems. The in-frame fluted panel systems allow for improved strength and/or ductility within a reduced wall thickness by installing the fluted panels within the framing of the support members in various configurations. The in-frame fluted panel systems further allows for easier construction and lower costs than conventional systems that have fluted panels located outside of the support members.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20080022624
    Abstract: A structural member for supporting joists to be attached to the member. The structural member may be in the form of a rim track member, may be cold-formed light gauge steel, and includes a web. The rim track member includes longitudinally spaced, vertical slots through the web. Elongated mounting members, such as clips, are inserted through the slots and are attached to the rim track member and a corresponding joist such that the joist is mounted to the rim track member. One arm of the clip is fastened to the back side of the rim track member, and the other arm of the clip is fastened to the joist. A floor support system may include rim track members supported by walls, joists spanning between the rim track members, and elongated mounting members. The slots in the rim track members may be spaced in conformance with standard construction industry practice.
