Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a joint structure used to connect load-bearing beams in the frame of a building.
  • Timber frame construction of buildings is increasingly being used as a more environmentally friendly alternative to steel frame construction.
  • Timber is a renewable material and a timber frame has a carbon footprint around 75% smaller than an equivalent steel frame.
  • Glued laminated timber (glulam) is a particularly strong and versatile timber material, which is seen as a good alternative to steel in building frames.
  • glulam is a particularly strong and versatile timber material, which is seen as a good alternative to steel in building frames.
  • problems associated with replacing steel frames by timber frames are problems associated with replacing steel frames by timber frames.
  • Timber beams are also susceptible to being crushed or deformed when they are subjected to loads across their width rather than along the length of the beam. This causes problems in multi-storey construction, where it is necessary to join horizontal beams to vertical load-bearing columns. In current techniques, the load passing through the vertical column in this type of joint also passes through the horizontal beam. The strength of the horizontal beam against being crushed at these joints is a limiting factor, as a result of which timber-framed buildings are generally limited to three storeys at present.
  • a joint structure for connecting beams in a building frame comprising:
  • a joint for a building frame comprising:
  • a building frame comprising the joint described above.
  • the joint structure is for connecting timber beams in a timber building frame.
  • the joint structure is made of metal.
  • mechanical fastening means are provided for attaching the first socket to the second beam. More preferably, at least one screw hole is formed in the first socket so as to allow the first socket to be attached to the second beam by a screw.
  • At least one screw hole is formed in the sleeve so as to allow the sleeve to be attached to the first beam by a screw.
  • an insert is formed at a corner of the sleeve.
  • the insert has an L-shaped cross-section.
  • the first flange portion is attachable to a first face of the sleeve and the second flange portion is attachable to a second face of the sleeve, the first face being opposite to the second face.
  • the third flange portion extends along an edge of the third socket and a row of screw holes is formed in the third flange portion in a direction parallel to the edge.
  • a row of screw holes is formed in a face of the sleeve at the same pitch as the row of screw holes in the third flange portion.
  • the second and third beams are substantially parallel.
  • the first beam is a lateral beam and the second beam is a vertical column. It is preferred that the third beam is also a vertical column and the joint structure is adapted to transfer load from the third beam to the second beam through the sleeve.
  • the second flange portion can be attached to the sleeve and the first beam in the same ways as the first flange portion.
  • the sockets of the first, second and third beam supports may have one or more inserts with the features described above.
  • the joint structure of the first embodiment includes a sleeve adapted to accommodate a first beam passing through it.
  • the first beam is a horizontal beam of a building in this embodiment.
  • the sleeve is shown in more detail in figs. 3 , 4 and 5 .
  • the sleeve forms a rectangular tube through which the first beam can pass. Screw holes are formed in two rows through each of two opposing walls of the sleeve. This allows the sleeve to be attached to first and second beam supports, as described below.
  • the sleeve also features ribs attached to its inner surface as inserts.
  • the ribs extend longitudinally from one opening of the sleeve to the other in this embodiment.
  • a rib is formed at each corner of the sleeve and each rib has an L-shaped cross section.
  • the function of the inserts is to contact the first beam when it is mounted in the sleeve so as to form a good fit.
  • Timber beams can expand and contract over time depending on the proportion of moisture contained within them. If the first beam is transported to a site in damp conditions, it may be slightly thicker than when it was originally dimensioned and as a result it may not fit into the sleeve as intended.
  • the ribs of the present invention make it easier to compensate for this expansion because it is only necessary to thin parts of the beam that contact the ribs. The parts of the surface of the beam that do not contact the ribs do not need to be removed, as long as the thickness of the ribs gives sufficient clearance between the inner surface of the ribs and the inner surface of the rest of the sleeve to compensate for the expansion.
  • the sleeve of this embodiment reduces the work required to fit the beams to the joint on-site and also reduces the timber wasted as off cuts. This applies equally to the other beams making up a building frame.
  • the joint structure also comprises a first beam support designed to fit over the end of a second beam, which is a vertical load-bearing column of the building.
  • the first beam support is shown in detail in figs. 6 , 7 and 8 .
  • the first beam support includes a socket that accommodates an end part of the second beam.
  • the socket in this embodiment is a tube having a rectangular cross section. Flange portions are formed at opposing edges of the socket on the other side of the socket from the opening into which the end of the second beam is inserted. Screw holes are provided on at least one side of the socket to allow the socket to be fixed to the second beam.
  • Screw holes are also provided in the flange portions.
  • the first beam support is fitted to the sleeve so that the flange portions abut the sleeve. Screw holes are formed in the sleeve at locations matching the screw holes in the flange portions.
  • the first beam support can be attached to the sleeve and the first beam by screws passing through the screw holes in the flange portions and the sleeve and into the first beam.
  • the first beam support includes ribs similar to those of the sleeve.
  • the ribs contact the second beam when it is mounted in the first socket so as to provide a good fit, and serve the same purpose as the ribs of the sleeve.
  • a third beam which is another vertical load-bearing column of the building, can be joined to the first beam using a second beam support. This is achieved in the same way as the second beam is joined to the first beam above.
  • the second beam support is attached to the opposite side of the sleeve from the first beam support.
  • the second beam support can have the same features as the first beam support. Figs. 6 , 7 and 8 and the above description of the first beam support apply equally to the second beam support.
  • the first beam support, the sleeve and the second beam support form a bridge between the end of one column, i.e. the second beam, and the end of another column, i.e. the third beam.
  • load is transferred from one column to the next via the components of the joint structure rather than via a horizontal beam such as the first beam.
  • the much smaller joint components can be made from a material strong enough to bear the necessary load without great expense or environmental impact.
  • the sleeve and beam supports are made from steel, but any suitably strong material can be used.
  • Third and fourth beam supports may also be provided to attach horizontal floor supporting beams to the joint.
  • the third and fourth beam supports are attached to the faces of the sleeve that are not already attached to the first and second beam supports.
  • the resulting joint structure is shown in fig. 2 . Aside from the third and fourth beam supports, this joint structure has the same features as that shown in fig. 1 .
  • the floor supporting beams are each arranged substantially perpendicular to the first beam and also substantially perpendicular to the second and third beams.
  • the floor supporting beams are attached to opposite sides of the joint.
  • the third and fourth beam supports each include a socket into which a floor beam can be inserted and flange portions formed at opposing edges of the socket.
  • the flange portions have screw holes at locations corresponding to screw holes on the face of the sleeve to which the third or fourth beam support is attached. Thus, screws can be driven through the flange portions and the sleeve into the first beam to secure the joint.
  • the third beam support has a row of screw holes formed along each flange portion. Corresponding rows of screw holes are formed in one or both free faces of the sleeve.
  • the vertical position of the third beam support relative to the sleeve can be adjusted by selecting which of the screw holes in the flange portions and the screw holes in the sleeve are aligned with each other. Adjusting the position of the third beam support adjusts the height of the associated floor beam relative to the first beam and the other floor beams. This adjustment does not require any modification of the components of the joint or the beams.
  • two adjacent floor beams can be provided at different heights from each other and from the first beam without having to provide a break in the first beam, which could otherwise weaken the frame.
  • a joint that allows floor beams to be fixed to it at adjustable heights is highly advantageous.
  • the same components can be employed throughout a building frame including floors at various different heights. This increases design flexibility and reduces the cost of the build. Furthermore, the heights of floors can be modified on-site if necessary.
  • the third and fourth beam supports include ribs similar to those of the sleeve.
  • the ribs contact the floor beams when they are mounted in the third and fourth sockets respectively so as to provide a good fit, and serve the same purpose as the ribs of the sleeve.
  • the sleeve and the first beam support can be fixed together without a beam being present. Specifically, driving screws through the screw holes in the sleeve and the corresponding screw holes in the flange portions of the first beam support attaches these two components of the joint structure together securely regardless of whether any beams are present.
  • the sleeve can be attached to each of the second, third and fourth beam supports in the absence of beams in the same way. Thus, the strength of the joint structure is independent of the beams joined by it.
  • the joint structure of the invention may also be used without beams being inserted into all of the available apertures. Fastening means other than screws may be used to attach the sleeve and the beam supports together in alternative embodiments.
  • the flange portions of the third and fourth beam supports can be attached to the first and/or second beam supports in addition to, or instead of, being attached to the sleeve.
  • screw holes may be formed in the side of the socket of the first beam support facing the third beam support, these screw holes being formed at locations corresponding to those on the flange portions of the third beam support. Screws can then be passed through the flange portions of the third beam support and the socket of the first beam support into the second beam to secure the joint.
