Cantilevered portion of a light frame construction building using structural engineered wood rim boards

A method of forming a cantilevered peripheral portion of a light frame construction building having an interior bounded by its periphery, the method comprising:

• affixing a first structural engineered wood rim board to a top plate of a wall such that a terminal end of the first structural engineered wood rim board extends beyond a plane formed by the wall, wherein the first structural engineered wood rim board comprises
• a pair of longitudinal flanges separated by a longitudinal web, the pair of longitudinal flanges and longitudinal web collectively being oriented relative to each other so as to define a cavity on a first side of the structural engineered wood rim board and a substantially flat surface on a second side of the structural engineered wood rim board, and wherein the first side is exterior-facing and the second side is interior facing;
• affixing a terminal end of a second structural engineered wood rim board, having a cavity on one side defined by a pair of flanges and a web, to the terminal end of the first structural engineered wood rim board;
• and
• affixing an auxiliary corner support to the respective terminal ends such that one arm of the auxiliary corner support is within the cavity of the terminal end of the first structural engineered wood rim board and an other arm of the auxiliary corner support is within the cavity of the terminal end of the second structural engineered wood rim board.

A cantilevered peripheral portion of a light frame construction building, having a peripherally bounded interior, the cantilevered peripheral portion comprising:

• two structural engineered wood rim boards, each having
• a first side comprising a pair of flanges coupled in a longitudinal direction to, and separated by, a web so as to collectively define a longitudinally extending cavity,
• a second side in which the pair of flanges and web collectively form a substantially flat surface, and
• a terminal end;
• wherein the first side is exterior facing and the second side is interior facing;
• wherein each of the two structural engineered wood rim boards are coupled to each other at the terminal ends;
• a supporting wall
• located parallel to a first of the two structural engineered wood rim boards and perpendicular to a second of two structural engineered wood rim boards,
• the supporting wall being
• recessed from the first of the two structural engineered wood rim boards by a distance, and
• perpendicular to the second of the two structural engineered wood rim boards and positioned underneath part of the second of the two structural engineered wood rim boards so as to transfer point loads from at least one of the two structural engineered wood rim boards to the supporting wall.
