AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing building designs face limitations in setback amount and roof slope due to the difficulty in positioning frame members between cross members with small vertical distances, restricting design freedom.

Method used

Incorporating a connecting member composed of a beam member between cross members, allowing for reduced setback and gentler roof slopes, with a bundle member design that includes overlapping flanges and side flanges to enhance load-bearing capacity and stability.

Benefits of technology

This configuration increases design freedom, improves load-bearing capabilities, and enhances resistance to horizontal shaking without additional reinforcing members, while maintaining workability and reducing load concentration.

Abstract

A building (10) comprises a sloped roof (11), a first outer wall (12), and a second outer wall (13). The first outer wall (12) is positioned on a low water-gradient side of the sloped roof (11). The second outer wall (13) is set back on a high water-gradient side of the sloped roof (11) relative to the first outer wall (12). The second outer wall (13) has a lower horizontal structural member (31), an upper horizontal structural member (32), and a connecting member (33). The lower horizontal structural member (31) is positioned at the same height as an eaves horizontal structural member (21) positioned at the upper end of the first outer wall (12). The upper horizontal structural member (32) is positioned on the upper side of the lower horizontal structural member (31). The connecting member (33) is disposed between the lower horizontal structural member (31) and the upper horizontal structural member (32), and connects the lower horizontal structural member (31) and the upper horizontal structural member (32). The connecting member (33) comprises a bundle member (33a).
