Description

Apparatus System and Method for Construction of Buildings and Structures, E3Lumber

BACKGROUND OF INVENTION

[0001] In the arts of construction, apparatuses are created from both renewable and nonrenewable natural resources. Typically, renewable resources such as sawn wood are used extensively to frame, form, and finish-out buildings. Worldwide, renewable sawn lumber resources are being negatively impacted and shrinking due to demand created by sawn lumber’s usefulness in building construction and general structural purposes. This demand is served exclusively by human expansion in population combined with betterment of the human condition. These activities forced the state-of-the-art manufacture to process younger than mature tree biomass resulting in lowering the quality of sawn lumber but continuing and expanding the use of even younger trees and their biomass. As such, it perpetuates the supply side negative cycle. The state-of- the-art saw n lumber producer must continue this downward spiral due to the economics of maintaining business practices within highly competitive markets.

[0002] As known in the arts, manufacture of sawn lumber creates waste. Sawn lumber is created with technology and methods that have changed very little in the last 300 years. In manufacture of sawn lumber, a tree is cut down and then a log suitable for sawn lumber is removed to the mill for the manufacture of sawn lumber. A significant portion comprising 35-45% of forestry biomass is left behind on the ground for manufacturers to gain suitable logs for milling and becomes the initial waste apparatus to the sawn lumber process. This waste is typically piled and then burned at the tree harvest site-resulting in significant biomass waste and air pollution.

[0003] Also understood in the arts, the suitable log delivered to mill is now rough sawn into planks, beams, and boards. As additional waste producing operations, they have not changed or have changed very little within the last 300 years. Rough sawn operations do not produce sellable product. It produced product that is ready for final milling into sellable product. As a result, rough sawn lumber is then milled and sized into sellable apparatuses as green lumber which may be kiln dried or sold as green in manufacturing terms. The accumulated waste of 20-30% of any suitable log biomass is generated as result of rough cutting and final sizing of sawn lumber into building products. Mill waste derived from these operations is typically burned; creating more air pollution; to supplement power generation requirements for these milling operations and kiln drying. An insignificant portion of sawn lumber waste is used to create composites these inventions utilize; however, most is used for energy production to perpetuate sawn lumbers' existence and not in the creation of biomass composites.

[0004] Also known in the arts, sawn lumber uses vast amounts of fuel energy to transport manufactured milled apparatuses to market. Sawn lumber mills regularly transport their products unrestricted by national or international borders. By example in the United States, a mill in Oregon may transport product to New York by truck or train or abroad by vessel or shipping container. The weight of sawn lumber, kiln dried or green, typically requires the maximum weight capacity of the shipping or freight conveyance and rarely, if ever, uses the conveyances available for volumetric cubic capacity per modem transportation restrictions. Such inefficient transportation efforts are expensive and drives up overall product costs.

[0005] In state-of-the-arts construction of buildings, construction crews must modify the sawn lumber to make it useful in application, thus, creating waste. Typically, a large number of framing apparatuses of an undefined required length, predefined dimension, or various predefined lengths and dimensions are delivered to typical building construction sites. For example, but not limited to, a plurality of eight to sixteen feet long, two-by-four and two-by-six that are nominally one-and one-half inches by three- and one-half inches or one-and one-half inches by five-and one-half inches sawn lumber boards may be used for constructing the building along with many other building apparatuses. During the structural framing phase of building construction, but not limited to this occurrence, predefined lengths of milled or sawn lumber are resawn or cut into design dimensions, and then individually installed during the construction of the building using suitable fasteners. The remanent or waste products created in the process account for 8-18% of products modified in recutting, resizing, or reshaping. Within the United States, sawn lumber waste from construction sites is typically disposed of in various landfill operations.

[0006] Well understood in the art of construction of structures, bulk purchases of sawn lumber are required to use sawn lumber products. One experienced in the trade recognizes that an individual must order more, as a percent of actual requirement, than the design or plan calls-out. Purchases over requirement are needed to gain enough usable sawn lumber over non-usable due to imperfections like, cracks, checking, deformation, shrinkage, twisting, warping, knots, insect damage, weather damage and creep. Typically, 12-19% is discovered as defective lumber within the most common lumber grade No 2. This is due to background in Point 1 above. Typically, again, all lumber used on construction sites has this waste mark-up included. This waste also accounts for inflated volumes and demand for mill orders higher volume purchases over what typical building projects actually require. This artificial demand is relatively new to the art as the quality' of tree’s harvested has declined over the last 60-80 years. Within the United States, defective sawn lumber from construction sites is typically disposed of in various landfill operations as waste.

[0007] As known in the art of sciences, engineering and building construction, sawn lumbers make-up is inconsistent. Therefore, as a property or constant within calculation, higher residuals or variables are used to compensate for those inconsistencies. Harvested tree size, limb placement within the tree knots, environmental tree growth conditions, and many other factors as; but not limited to; wood types and both natural and kiln obtained moisture contents of wood affect its properties. All these inconsistent properties typically reduce sawn lumbers resiliency while calculating stress strain relationships and ultimately the load requirements of buildings and structures. Typically, adjusting formulaic equations for sawn lumbers’ use highlights the inconsistencies and results in the use of higher demand factors and increased design criteria safety margins when sawn lumber is deployed within buildings and structures. These higher factors contribute to upwards of 50-150% in sawn lumbers sizing to load specifications over more consistent materials like steel and concrete, given the same project is measured. The art considers this as a primary reason for the use of nonrenewable resources like steel and concrete as dominate building materials in superstructure or high-rise buildings. It also accounts for an additional waste of wood biomass resources when lumber is specified in structures. [0008] Considered state-of-the-art, inflated sawn lumber specifications due to inconsistencies also elevate the use of saw n lumber apparatus sizing. Typically, and as an example, although a two by two-inch sawn lumber apparatus at Number 1 Grade is suitable for a given design condition a three-and-one-half by three-and-one-half inch No 2 grade apparatus is specified by one practicing the art to account for the not readily available and expensive number-one grade of sawn lumber plus the inconsistencies mentioned in Point 7. The amount of waste in this example of sawn lumbers’ inflated specification or biomass overuse is 75% as typical for the example occasion, but can be much higher in the everyday practice of the art. The waste itself is a direct result of Points 1 and 7 above and also inherently and falsely increases demand on sawn lumber’s biomass resources.

[0009] A well-established state-of-the-art practice exists using materials other than saw n lumber within structural framing of building construction. Materials include other engineered or laminated woods, metals, or concrete apparatuses. However, integrating and installing structural framing apparatuses and apparatuses of differing materials inherently gives rise to difficulties that must be planned or resolved at the construction site. These installation difficulties are solvable, but generally require additional labor, modification of apparatuses, or supplemental apparatuses of dissimilar properties like steel hangers.

[0010] One skilled in the art appreciates that during construction, prefabricated structural framing apparatuses are not readily modified to facilitate their use during the construction process nor integrated with others to perform anything other than a micro intended role. State-of-the-art wood composite materials, such as prefabricated I or other shapes of the like, are used as beams, girders, joists or trusses but are specific in use and required to a specific role and not that of any other uses due to their design limitations.

[0011] State-of-the-art I-shapes have been developed as structural framing apparatuses in horizontal approximant installation. However, these structural framing apparatuses are designed for specific functions or custom to a particular building and are typically fabricated off site specifically to an intended role in length. After offsite fabrication, the state-of-the-art prefabricated structural framing apparatuses, such as composite beams, trusses, or the like, are then transported to the construction site for final modification and installation at said length. Typically in the arts, said lengths are overlength to transportation requirements.

[0012] Often the art requires prefabricated structural framing apparatuses that are heavy, cumbersome, and difficult to move and transport. Typically, they are placed by hand or crane, dependent on their weight, length, -width, and height. Currently and as an example, shipment of many engineered floor trusses is limited to oversized tractor trailer lengths of around 60-feet. In connection, a glulam beam may be of the same proportion and require additional handling due to its weight. Typically, specialized heavy equipment, such as cranes, forklifts, or other lifts, may be required to move and position such state-of-the-art apparatuses on building construction sites. More typically, additional, human labor is required to erect frames and perform laborious and dangerous tasks when using state-of-the-art sawn lumber laminates, current engineered products, steel, and concrete members.

[0013] Those participating in the art of structure erection understand materials dissimilar in properties cause long term damages in finished structures. As one example, over time creep brought on by moisture naturally leaving sawn lumber causes dissimilar materials around the situation to crack, warp, break, and misalign.

[0014] Framing a typical dwelling with state-of-the-art methods that have not changed in decades is cumbersome, labor intensive, and not conducive to modem health and safety practices.

[0015] One who regularly participates in the art recognizes the assembly and placement of framing within a building’s structure is laborious. Framing nailer, saws, compressors, measures, and many other tools or tool-related items like cords and air hoses are cumbersome. Combined with lumber framing’s temporary framing or support requirements, incomplete partitions and numerous temporary supports hinder efficiency and create high labor-to-productivity ratios.

[0016] Low production, unskilled laborers are common to the state-of-the-art of structure construction. Typically, younger, entry-level blue-collar workers without much care for craftsmanship or timeliness dominate construction framing and structure erection labor positions. Training is typically on the job and taught to the current project and not to the trade. Investment into these labors or their future development is not in the best interest of those practicing the art due to turnover and layoff durations between jobs.

[0017] State-of-the-art in wooden modular building, recreational vehicle, or trailer construction includes unwelcomed movement and premature fastener yield, all as a result of transportation of the units to marriage site or use thereof.

[0018] State-of-the-art in producing wood constructed high-wind load buildings and structures must incorporate third party fastener gussets, hangers, gussets, and other joining plates or shear resistance members. Typically, these are all made of metal braked into shapes to hold or strap down sawn lumber, or state-of-the-art engineered wood products.

[0019] Typical state-of-the-art design of building structures requires years of experience and education for structural renderings of human-occupied structures. Time to design and engineer structures is at a premium in state-of-the-art building practices. Lessening time required to design is a common goal amongst those who practice the art regularly.

[0020] Those who build or have built buildings and structures understand that state-of-the-art sawn lumber product is a free market driven commodity. Economies; therefore, manipulate building practices more often than not from the planning phase time to the completion time of the building phase. The impact can be both negative or positive and the impact dictates both qualify and quantify' of building projects. State-of-the-art economies also dictates locking in building costs long before construction phase so budgeting requirements match. Economies of scale have little to no influence on sawn lumber economics due to the market driven commodify' of sawn lumber being wood. Only prepurchase of sawn lumber and its subsequent, at times, long-term storage can produce initial to construction phase economies of scale.

[0021] State-of-the-art fit and finish of building or structures is compromised to on-center conditions and highly dependent on labor conditions and therefor prone to mistakes. Typical sawn lumber mistakes include but are not limited to the following: installation of lengths off-center, bowing or bulging off-plate, out-of-square and plumb, short or too long recuts, angle misses, fastener misses or failures, misalignment, failure of material at fastener contact, or incorrect sizing of material. Adjustments for mistakes in framing are costly in labor and additional materials. They can also modify the preplanned engineering of the structure causing health and safety issues along with inadequate longevity and additional waste.

[0022] Plumbing, mechanical or wiring chases are problematic to state-of-the-art framing. State-of-the-art products do not compensate for these required chases and alcoves. Forcing modification to the framing is typically the responsibility of the recess installer. These installers are not licensed or certified to modify framing to fit their installations and the state-of-the-art practice of doing so underscores regular problems to the structural ability of lumber framing and therefore the safety of occupants.

[0023] A commonality within state-of-the-art building practices includes offsite truss construction. The completed truss is then freighted to the building site and erected usually with heavy equipment, typically a crane. Again, waste is a byproduct of not building the truss on-site as a comprised portion of the framing hip or truss style roof. Along with additional expenses of fuel, truck, and crane use to install off-site formed or assembled trusses that create additional lumber waste. They are economically driven into use as a time saving or longer clear spanning apparatus and not a labor, economic, or resource saving apparatus.

[0024] Floor trusses are typical to the art as single span I-shape engineered units from a multitude of state-of-the-art manufacturers. Without any exception, single span trusses exhibit their max deflection at the center of their installed span. Accounted for inversely at one-half of their length, their deflection decreases as you move towards a supported end. This causes a bowed floor by a consistent bowed deflection graphing line that decreases the closer it gets to support. In example, the look and feel of the floor supporting weight is bowed in the center. Also, state-of-the-art I-shapes do not allow supporting structure above them without supporting elements below them. [0025] Those practicing state-of-the-art design of structures understand the benefits of one- and two-tier composite products like Orientated Strand Board, High Density Fiberboard, or Laminated Veneer Lumber. Those practicing building arts employ wood composites due to each product’s specific roles and usefulness. However, the typical state-of-the-art building designer does not understand benefits of Four-Tier composite construction. A method that creates positive environmental impacts, lessens weight, labor, and creates economic incentives. Four-Tier composite construction of structures is not state-of-the-art and is exclusive to this invention.

SUMMARY OF INVENTION

[0027] Novel embodiments of the invention, herein referred to as E³Lumber apparatuses and methods, include standardization; optimization; efficiency in systems and numerous new methodologies; revised material arrangements; and uniquely sized, shaped, and novel apparatuses that significantly reduce waste within the environmental demand created by the logging, manufacture, and the transportation of lumber and lumber related products.

[0028] The designed specification, use of, and the installation or modification of state-of-the- art wood biomass products includes, but is not limited to sawn lumber or other wood products, results in E³Lumber reducing the need and demand of nonrenewable materials used to construct buildings or other structures.

[0029] This E³Lumber invention goes beyond state-of-the-art forestry or industrial methods to produce, distribute, and use its novel building materials, apparatuses, systems or methods. The invention’s best practices are engineered to force the state-of-the-art into conservation of forest biomass while reducing material waste into the least amount possible, culminating with novel industrial methods and practices, optimization methods, assembly systems, and integration methods that developed E³Lumber’s numerous apparatuses, assemblies, functions, and products that utilize and promote economic enhancements in building, engineering, and construction of structures, while simultaneously offering numerous environmental benefits.

[0030] E³Lumber embodiments are predicated on the use of standardized, lightweight engineered I, box, other shapes of various fabricated lengths. Any suitable number of lengths of E³Lumber are joined and mated to each other with highly integrated, inexpensive, standardized, and made-to purpose connectors. Preferably, these connectors are substantially made of the same proprietary materials. The connectors couple E³Lumber elements to other E³Lumber elements using common adhesive and suitable fasteners diametrically opposed to load through nails, screws, or another of the novel apparatuses such as a E-Clamp to Center Tie.

[0031] The E-Clamp-to-Center Tie may take various designed forms and functions within E³Lumber. Groups of E-Connectors are used to tie E³Lumber apparatuses compositely together in any desired manner to form struts, studs, joists, tmsses, beams, posts, or the like. The E-Clamp-to-C enter Tie provides both clamping force and permanent bonding to those connections in compression and diametrically opposed to load.

For instance, features illustrated, described, or demonstrated within one embodiment may be modified or used by the invention on another embodiment to create, yield, or further additional embodiment. Thus, it is fully intended that the inventions include such modification and variations as equivalent in scope of the included claims.

[0191] Embodiments of the invention, herein after referred to as E³Lumber Apparatuses, methods, provides for an environmentally rewarding, highly efficient, extremely reliable, energy saving, and thoroughly economic structural framing, building dry-ins, and building finish-outs as methods governing the invention’s apparatuses and assemblies that are comprised of a plurality of both standardized and modifiable apparatuses and building methods to use the invention effectively. [0192] The disclosed E³Lumber apparatuses will become beter understood through review of the following detailed description in conjunction with the Fig. The detailed descriptions and figures provide examples of various embodiments to the invention described herein. Those skilled in the art will understand that the disclosed examples may be varied, modified, and altered without departing from the scope of the invention described herein.

[0193] Many variations are contemplated for different applications and design considerations. However, for the sake of brevity, each and every contemplated variation is not individually described in the following detailed description. Thus, the invention’s innovation in method demonstrates a plurality of apparatuses, but also exhibits possibilities of similar apparatuses when abridged to the demonstrated apparatuses and perspective drawings.

[0194] Throughout the following detailed description, examples of various E³Lumber systems, methods, and apparatuses are provided. Related features in the examples may^¬ be identical, similar, or dissimilar in different examples. For the sake of brevity', related features will not be redundantly explained in each example. Instead, the use of related feature names will cue the reader that the feature with a related feature name may be similar to the related feature in an example explained previously.

[0195] Features specific to a given example will be described in that particular example. The reader should understand that a given feature need not be the same or similar to the specific portrayal of a related feature in any given figure or example.

[0196] Global conditions of Fig. and or illustrations and their detailed descriptions, and for the sake of expedience, the following should be considered with each detailed description:

[0197] All illustrated apparatuses are variable in sizing, proprietary materials, composition, and configuration as defined in Fig. 137 through Fig. 142.

[0198] Fasteners that are not called out, numbered, or otherwise indicated in writings with Fig. or Fig. numbers are assumed to be common to the art fasteners. Occasionally indicated on illustrations as shaded small and large diameter circles that approximate an installed location. Invention does not stake claim to common fasteners or their approximate placement that are outside the invention’s scope or of their usefulness and specific use outside the invention’s scope of its diametrically opposed fastening planes, demonstrated in Fig. 154. However, diametrically opposed fastener planes are well within the invention’s scope and demonstrated throughout Fig.’s.

[0199] Adhesive use to form bonds or coupling in the invention’s assemblies is not required unless otherwise indicated by illustration or description. Proprietary combinations forming the invention’s adhesives and sealants for material and apparatus manufacture is required by this invention and one portion of its novelty; and again, for the sake of brevity only mentioned here genetically. See also Proprietary or Proprietary Materials below.

[0200] Continuity of E-Length sizes. As example, Fig. 4 is a E2-Two apparatus and child of the parent E³Lumber apparatus E² Post and Beam, E-Length. The E2-Two E-Length in physical form measures 4 x 4 nominal as in lumber’s nominal measurements and references. Correspondingly, the E2-Two is double width and or double depth of the El apparatus which is child to the E³Lumber apparatus E-Length I-shaped parent measuring 2 x 4 nominal. Like lumber, nominal sizing is apparent to both E-Lengths on one side of E-Length to another. In example, four nominal equals two El ’s on face- measured values and also the width or depth of an El, again 4” nominal. That same novel correlation and integration is readily apparent throughout the E³Lumber E- Lengths and also the entire invention to include webbing channels, fillers, plates, tools, connectors, stiffeners, intermediates, and other invention peripherals found within its methods. However, and for brevity sakes, it will only be mentioned here.

[0201] Compatibility Within Invention. All E³Lumber apparatuses and methods are at the least adaptable in compatibility with the invention’s underlying methods.

[0202] The following definitions apply herein, unless otherwise indicated:

[0203] Proprietary or Proprietary Materials is used to indicate differences from state-of-the-art or current pre-invention over-the-counter retail sheet products of same or similar name. Differences include but are not limited to the following: 1. Adjustment of percent by weight of adhesive or types of adhesives used. 2. Raw or processed material used within sheet exceeding 50% of its make-up. 3. Stratification, orientation, or layering of elements forming material into sheet. 4. Paraffin and or other wax or wax type use and amount. 5. Pressure durations, annealed duration, wet formed duration. 6.

Moisture type or amounts or moisture inhibitors or amounts. 7. Any additives, pressures, or temperature used to form sheet products. 8. Additives or mixtures to treat, cure, or maintain sheets.

[0204] Method for brevity again, and used within the scope of the invention procedures, also means additional or alternate as in material combinations, apparatuses shapes, sizes, and compositions, by adjacent apparatuses and consequent assemblies or concepts derived thereof. Each of the invention’s methods shall be called out prior to the terms use. In example, E³Lumber’s Method, E-Framing Method, E-Stud Method, E-Bridging Method, Cross Datum Construction Method, Three E Method, E-Snake Charmer Method, or Four-Tier Composite Method. Each of these methods are further defined in claims section.

[0205] E-Length means in profile, I, box, trapezoidal, or other shape that constitute a radius, or a flat board within the invention’s manufacture as in lengths that share similar in X, Y, or Z axis points extending to other points along its length. Therefore, E-Length is used generically to represent a apparatus of any shape or configuration for the spanning of two points of length at any axes along any vector. Furthermore, E-Lengths are squared in load resistance. Meaning approximate load resistance similar in depth and width about the apparatuses length.

[0206] Substantially means to be more-or-less conforming to the particular dimension, range, shape, concept, or other aspect modified by the term, such that a feature or apparatus need not conform exactly. For example, a substantially cylindrical object means that the object resembles a cylinder but may have one or more deviations from a true cylinder.

[0207] Comprising or Comprised, including conjugations thereof, are used interchangeably to mean including, but not necessarily limited to and are open-ended terms not intended to exclude additional elements or method steps not expressly recited.

[0208] Terms such as first, second, and third or Fig. number are used to distinguish or identify various elements or members of a group or the like and are not intended to denote a serial, chronological, or numerical limitation.

[0209] Coupled means connected, either permanently or releasably, whether directly or indirectly through intervening apparatuses. It is not intended to singularly indicate one particular connection to one particular element or apparatus.

[0210] E³Lumber Methods is comprised of novel terms specific to invention but all stem from Three E Method developed to arouse this novel invention’s goal of substituting sawn lumber, economically.

[0211] Three E’s are comprised of environmental, economic, and engineering variables. Each variable was optimized to best practices and within a simple matrix allowing a given or focused variable’s best practice an opportunity to affect the final solution as a score generated by row or column addition and then further modeled by standard deviation.

[0212] The matrices use is well known and includes complex math but is not intended as an invention claim. However, its use to find determinates by inverses of row optimization effects on overall score’s provided the Three E’s basis or its direction in developing apparatus concepts.

[0213] As a rule, environmental variables were always positive weighted to effect engineering outcomes and engineering negatively weighted to effect economic outcomes. With minor economic differences, balance within all E’s as weighted variables in this order. Economic, Engineering, Environmental produced the highest scores and best practices in optimization that all three E’s could economically achieve the optimization goal.

[0214] As result, this invention balances from forest to new construction unlike any state-of- the-art building material as weighted by enhancing overall environmental impact, while creating economic incentive to do so. This is established on well-founded research and formulaic development within the all E disciplines. [0215] Four-Tier Composite Method is a apparatus outcome of the Three E Engineering matrix and composes the invention’s beginning as EM² Materials Fig. 137-142, Fig. 152, and Fig. 156 as the first step in invention’s proprietary composites.

[0216] EM²Materials begin as proprietary sheet materials specified from existing manufactures of like materials, but of invention’s mixtures. These are typically in a sheet form and considered the inventions Tier 1 composites as either sheets or formed shapes developed for machining, additional forming, or stratified with similar or dissimilar sheets or apparatuses into invention’s Tier 2 composites. Tier 2 composites are mostly converted into apparatus parts that are coupled or bonded, with other Tier 1 and 2 apparatuses and shapes to build invention’s more complex apparatuses and assemblies into Tier 3 composites. Tier 3 composite shapes and apparatuses are then coupled by bond and fastener to other Tier 1-3 composites to form structures as Tier 4 composite structures. Details of invention follows:

[0217] E-Cap is a generic term applied to end flanges applied to E-Lengths. When present in assemble or factory installed the E-Length is an E-Stud Fig 3 with E-Cap Fig. 5. As a factory installed end flange it provides E-Length load spreading, dissimilar property mating, common fastener acceptance and retention area for coupling. Alternately, an E-Length Fig. 2 E-Cap is as previously stated or as added to an E-Length assembly for dissimilar or advanced coupling to ends of E-Lengths after on-site trim or cut to length operations.

[0218] Clamp-to-Center Ties Fig. 121-126 are the invention's novel tie fasteners. As placed in self-centering bores within Tier 3 assemblies and heads then cinched together by apparatus. Invention’s Clamp-to-Center Ties supplement, replace, or substitute common fastener use within invention’s coupling of Tier 3 composites. Clamp-to- Center Ties are part of invention’s novel diametrically opposed fastener planes within its E-Framing Method for compiling Tier 4 structural assemblies.

[0219] E-Stud Method are Tier 3 permanently bonded composites for state-of-the-art lumber uses and substitutions. E-Stud Method use does not retain invention’s Tier 4 composite structure ability. Comprised of invention’s E-Studs, E-Plate, E-Blocking, E-Doublets, and E²Post and Beams that are essentially E-Capped E-Lengths as I or box shapes with filled or multiple web channels, precut chases, some abutment joinery, and creep tolerant web joinery for dissimilar property coupling. E-Stud Method apparatuses resist loading squarely so they may be used in any orientation.

[0220] E-Stud E-Lengths Fig. 3 and Fig. 156 are designed to couple to dissimilar properties, like lumber, or alternately to other E-Stud Method apparatuses above. E-Studs include at least one E-Cap Fig. 5 for common fastener coupling. Fig. 12 diaphragm blocking locations and common fastener coupling is preordained in all precut to length E-Studs as are chase web cut outs and pre-bored web mounted peripheral apparatus locations. E-Studs use, but not exclusively, bonded Fig. 64 E-Web Stiffeners for increased strength and fastener planes. Alternately, bonded 308 E-Web Intermediates may be employed to provide modular length properties with end matching joinery. E-Plates are modified E-Studs.

[0221] E-Plates are part of E-Stud Method 69 and are non-E-Capped E-Lengths that integrate with E-Studs as upper and lower plates -within framing assemblies. E-Plate has a plurality of alternate uses like E-King, diaphragm blocking, and cripple stud uses. E- Plate is a compositely formed hybrid E-Stud consisting of E-Doublets Fig. 75 factory bonded into webbing channels that provide fastener retention anywhere along E-Plates girth. This provides the versatility to cut E-Plate to any length. As opposed to E-Stud’s economically driven design that intentionally places fastener planes at designated intervals within their matrix. Thus, making E-Studs difficult, but not impossible to cut to length. Therefore, E-Studs are a fixed length apparatus to E-Plate’s cut to length ability due to available fastener planes and end matched joinery for less waste. E- Blocks are a mixture of both.

[0222] E-Blocks Fig. 12 are shortened but still E-Capped E-Stud’s designed for use as diaphragm blocking or cripple studs. E-Block end caps are proprietary material so their corresponding grain structure is trimmable on both ends thus allowing fastener placement and retention after constrained trimming to length. The preferred method of E-block placement within E-Stud Method used while building a framing assembly is to couple E-Blocking simultaneously with E-Stud fastening to E-Plate to maintain E-Stud on-center discipline. Cut to length E-Plate is also used for E-Blocking.

[0223] Unlike state-of-the-art lumber, all apparatuses within invention’s Methods are compatible with each other in dimension and coupling. The E²Post and Beam E- Lengths found within invention’s methods provides a good example.

[0224] E²Post and Beam Fig. 17-18 are multiple web variations of E-Lengths and deployed with or without E-Caps 63. E²Post and Beams are dimensionally identical to multiples of the inventions Methods and apparatuses depth or width. E²Post and Beam occasionally employ internal Fig. 64 and Fig. 145 E-Web Stiffeners on built to length versions and 308 E-Web Intermediates in modular end matched extendable length versions. Unlike state-of-the-art, E²Post and Beams use as a header is optimized due to inventions matching dimensional stability, its enhanced load bearing resulting in a one- piece header without shims for matching framing wall depth, a reduction of fastener use, and reduction of weight and sizing. As an alternate to the lumber compatibility of the E-Stud Method the invention is also comprised of a highly innovative non-lumber compatible method.

[0225] The E-Framing Method, herein E-Framing, is comprised of numerous methods and apparatuses that advance state-of-the-art building materials by being environmentally friendly, lighter in weight, ridged, permanently bonded, economic, integrated, and conventional to optimized practices. E-Framing was developed within the scope of Three E’s as the highest scoring Method due to its complete utilization of the defined earlier EM²Materials and 4 Tier composite system.

[0226] E-Framing Method consists of E-Lengths. E-Lengths are genetically referenced throughout Figures and include the following apparatuses as further defined: E-Joists Fig. 10, E-Plate Fig. 30, E-Doublets Fig. 75, E-King Fillers, E-Sill Filler Fig. 37, E- Ledger Board Fig. 40, E-Ridge Board Fig. 100, E-Sill Plate Fig. 38, E-Rim Plate Fig. 39, E-Blocking Fig. 12, E-Jack or E-Cripple Studs Fig. 42.

[0227] Fig. 2, Fig. 3, Fig. 10, and Fig. 17 are used generically to represent E-Lengths throughout the invention’s illustrations and detailed descriptions. Their use is not intended to limit Fig. 2, Fig. 3, Fig. 10, and Fig. 17 to any particular shape, size, length, width or depth or height to any I or box-shape. Whereas Fig. 2, Fig. 3, Fig. 10, and Fig. 17 are called out by their Fig. within the detail descriptions or within illustration by their respective number, the invention^'s scope of plurality, integration, and function dictates the referenced apparatuses, its coupling, or its mating is at the least adaptable, with very minimal effort, to a like or similar apparatus in any E-Length shape, size, length, width depth, or height.

[0228] E-Connectors, as a generic term are applied to invention’s coupling apparatuses used to connect E-Length to E-Length or alternately referenced as inventions apparatuses required for coupling or reinforcement within inventions methods. E-Framing Methods utilize a majority of the invention’s E-Connectors. As comprised of numerous namesakes and used across all Methods. E-Connectors are further defined within each of their respective Figures.

[0229] E-Bridging Method also generically referenced as E-Bridging or E-Bridged consists of numerous E-Bridging Connectors as further defined by Fig. 65-74 and elsewhere. E- Bridging generically refers to inventions coupling devices that stack E-lengths or end to end to form spanning joist and truss assemblies with low initial bridging height, adjustable deflection, and labor and material economies.

[0230] Cross Datum Construction Method, assembly of E-Framing structures that is, in effect, E-Length to E-Connector to E-Length to E-Connector from the projects as the intended structure to be assembled datum as the starting or control point to begin assembly projecting out in all project axes relations as datum-controlled vectors the direction in which to install apparatuses to install inventions apparatuses to complete project, systematically in all three dimensions or axes.

[0231] E-Hips Method generically referenced as E-Hips is defined in Fig. 97-110 as HIP roof framing connectors and assemblies that include gable, soffit, comice, and eve forming that couple E-Lengths at oblique angles.

[0232] E-Truss Method, generically referenced as E-Truss is further defined in Fig. 110-120 as roof and other truss sty le framing connectors intended for factory or on-site truss assembly using Cross Datum Construction Method. [0233] E-Snake Charmer Method generically referenced as E-Snake is further defined in Fig. 81-96 as radius wall forming apparatuses. E-Snake Plate, sole and upper plates for radius walls are modified E-Plates, E-Connectors, and E-Lengths.

[0234] E-Panel Method as generically referenced as E-Panel is further defined in Fig. 127-136 as machined or formed sheets of numerous materials with various coupling configurations that mate -with E-Length compression grooves.

[0235] E-Tools, as further defined in Fig. 148 as tools to help assemble E³Lumber apparatuses to maintain on center discipline While Fig. 156-157 are further defined in the manufacture or assembly of various apparatuses.

Fig. 155 can be substituted with indexing conveyor or live deck wedge type compression clamping within the respective manufacturing process but generally E-Length apparatus assembly with spacer block 337 and alignment pin 338 is required for E-Stud production due to adhesive open, alignment, and working times. Just as well, robotic, human, or mechanical apparatus feeding and the art of applying correct adhesive amounts to individual apparatuses is second nature to the actual clamping mechanism controlling the finished assemblies sizing and web placement during adhesive dry time. This is due to contractions and expansions due to hydrostatic pressures exertion in both linear and nonlinear planes along with possible deformation of webbing 3 shown as 271, 273,1.
