Abstract

Une ossature métallique (10) ou une structure support sous-jacente ou sous-structure d'une structure de bâtiment met en oeuvre au moins deux rails métalliques décalés (38) comportant chacune de préférence une pluralité de fentes (46), et une pluralité de montants métalliques (12) comportant au moins de préférence une partie saillante intégrée ou languette (28) à chacune de leurs extrémités. De cette façon, on peut raccorder un montant métallique avec chacun des rails (38) en faisant passer ses parties saillantes (28) dans les fentes alignées (46) de chacun de ces rails (38) et en courbant ces parties saillantes pour raccorder le montant métallique (12) aux rails (38). Ceci peut être répété avec une pluralité de montants métalliques (12) afin de former une ossature d'une taille désirée. Un matériau de construction peut être ensuite fixé à une pluralité de montants métalliques (12).
