Embodiment Construction

[0038]With reference to the drawings, the invention will now be described with regard for the best mode and the preferred embodiment. In general, the invention comprises an integrated, high strength, lightweight building structure to withstand flooding, seismic, and up to 250 mph wind loads. In addition, the building structure is constructed from materials that resist wood destroying organisms, mildew, mold, rot, and water damage. The structural system is made from composite beams, columns, and structural panels.

[0039]In FIG. 1, the composite beams and columns form a structural frame. The following description details the design of the composite beams used in the structural system, and the bending axis is presumed to be the centerline shown in the corresponding figures. An ordinary practitioner will appreciate that the following beam designs are also suitable for the composite columns. The beam 1 and column 2 members preferably are designed using four materials: cold rolled steel, r...

Abstract

An integrated, high strength, lightweight building structure that withstands seismic, flooding, and 250 mph wind loads and is resistant to wood destroying organisms, mildew, mold, rot, and water damage. The structural system incorporates watertight seals between the walls and flooring system, the joints in the walls, and around the doors and windows. The eaves and roof incorporate a novel design that distributes to the structural members the uplift forces caused by extreme wind loading events.

Description

[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60 / 898,916, filed on Feb. 1, 2007.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates generally to structural systems and components for residential and light commercial buildings, and more specifically to high-strength structural components for eaves, wall panels, ceiling panels, roof panels and floor joints, overhead joist and columns of these buildings. Also included are methods of attaching the components together, thereby forming a high strength integrated structure or enclosure.[0003]In recent years, hurricanes have caused billions of dollars in damage by decimating many homes in the coastal regions of the Carolinas and Gulf states. The destruction is caused by high wind forces and flooding due to excessive rain and high storm surges. As a result of this destruction, many families have lost their homes, and some of the largest insurance companies no longer offer new homeowner p...
