Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A beam to column joint connection structure of a building framework has a column assembly and a beam assembly. The column assembly includes a column, a pair of gusset plates on opposite sides of the column, and bearing elements. The beam assembly includes a beam having an end portion received between the gusset plates. The beam assembly has bearing elements. The bearing elements are positioned with respect to each other to prevent movement of the beam assembly relative to the column assembly by engagement of exterior bearing engagement surfaces of the bearing elements of the column assembly with exterior engagement bearing surfaces of the bearing elements of the beam assembly in a direction along a longitudinal axis of the beam. The beam-to-column joint connection does not require any bolts or welds connecting the beam assembly to the column assembly, resulting in an all bearing moment connection.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A joint connection structure of a building framework comprising: a column assembly including a column having a longitudinal axis, a pair of gusset plates connected to the column on opposite sides of the column and extending laterally outward from the column and bearing elements operatively connected to the gusset plate and projecting from the gusset plate, the bearing elements of the column assembly each having an exterior bearing engagement surface; and a…
