Building and method for constructing building

A building, comprising:

• a foundation;
• a building body arranged on the foundation, the building body having a Rahmen structure;
• a roof arranged on the building body, the roof having a truss structure;
• and
• metal fittings,
• wherein:
• the building body includes:
• vertical members;
• first horizontal members extending between the vertical members;
• and
• second horizontal members extending between the first horizontal members, the second horizontal members intersecting the first horizontal members,
• the roof includes roof frames and a coupling member that couples the roof frames to each other,
• at least one roof frame includes:
• a roof extending member;
• rafters coupled to the roof extending member;
• and
• a reinforcement member arranged so as to form the truss structure in an outer frame that is defined by the roof extending member and the rafters,
• the coupling member that couples the roof frames to each other is fixed to at least one first horizontal member or at least one second horizontal member using at least one metal fitting,
• the at least one metal fitting includes a fixed portion, two tabs and an attachment portion,
• the fixed portion is configured to extend away from the coupling member along an upper surface of the at least one first horizontal member or the at least one second horizontal member to which the coupling member is fixed,
• the fixed portion includes a first edge portion and a second edge portion, and is fixed to the at least one first horizontal member or the at least one second horizontal member to which the coupling member is fixed,
• the first edge portion includes an inclined portion that is inclined with respect to an extending direction of the at least one first horizontal member or the at least one second horizontal member to which the fixed portion is fixed,
• the two tabs protrude from the inclined portion of the fixed portion and sandwich the coupling member,
• a distance between the inclined portion and the second edge portion narrows as a distance from the coupling member sandwiched by the two tabs increases,
• the attachment portion is configured to extend in one direction from each of the two tabs along the coupling member sandwiched by the two tabs, and
• at a portion where the coupling member intersects the at least one first horizontal member or the at least one second horizontal member, the at least one metal fitting fixes the coupling member to the at least one first horizontal member or the at least one second horizontal member.

A method for constructing a building, the method comprising:

• forming a foundation;
• forming a building body on the foundation, the building body having a Rahmen structure;
• and
• coupling pre-assembled roof frames to the building body using metal fittings, the roof having a truss structure,
• wherein:
• the building body includes:
• vertical members;
• first horizontal members extending between the vertical members;
• and
• second horizontal members extending between the first horizontal members, the second horizontal members intersecting the first horizontal members,
• at least one roof frame includes:
• a roof extending member spanning two of the first horizontal members or two of the second horizontal members;
• rafters coupled to the roof extending member;
• and
• a reinforcement member arranged so as to form the truss structure in an outer frame that is defined by the roof extending member and the rafters,
• the at least one roof frame is fixed to at least one first horizontal member or at least one second horizontal member using at least one metal fitting,
• the at least one metal fitting includes a fixed portion, two tabs and an attachment portion,
• the fixed portion is configured to extend away from the at least one roof frame along an upper surface of the at least one first horizontal member or the at least one second horizontal member to which the at least one roof frame is fixed,
• the fixed portion includes a first edge portion and a second edge portion, and is fixed to the at least one first horizontal member or the at least one second horizontal member to which the at least one roof frame is fixed,
• the first edge portion includes an inclined portion that is inclined with respect to an extending direction of the at least one first horizontal member or the at least one second horizontal member to which the fixed portion is fixed,
• the two tabs protrude from the inclined portion of the fixed portion and sandwich the roof extending member,
• a distance between the inclined portion and the second edge portion narrows as a distance from the roof extending member sandwiched by the two tabs increases,
• the attachment portion is configured to extend in one direction from each of the two tabs along the roof extending member sandwiched by the two tabs, and
• at a portion where the roof extending member intersects the at least one first horizontal member or the at least one second horizontal member, the at least one metal fitting fixes the roof extending member to the at least one first horizontal member or the at least one second horizontal member.

A method for constructing a building, the method comprising:

• forming a foundation;
• forming a building body on the foundation, the building body having a Rahmen structure;
• and
• coupling pre-assembled roof frames to the building body using metal fittings via a coupling member that couples roof frames to each other, the roof having a truss structure,
• wherein:
• the building body includes:
• vertical members;
• first horizontal members extending between the vertical members;
• and
• second horizontal members extending between the first horizontal members, the second horizontal members intersecting the first horizontal members,
• at least one roof frame includes:
• a roof extending member;
• rafters coupled to the roof extending member;
• and
• a reinforcement member arranged so as to form the truss structure in an outer frame that is defined by the roof extending member and the rafters, and
• the coupling member that couples the roof frames to each other is fixed to at least one first horizontal member or at least one second horizontal member using at least one metal fitting,
• the at least one metal fitting includes a fixed portion, two tabs and an attachment portion,
• the fixed portion is configured to extend away from the coupling member along an upper surface of the at least one first horizontal member or the at least one second horizontal member to which the coupling member is fixed,
• the fixed portion includes a first edge portion and a second edge portion, and is fixed to the at least one first horizontal member or the at least one second horizontal member to which the coupling member is fixed,
• the first edge portion includes an inclined portion that is inclined with respect to an extending direction of the at least one first horizontal member or the at least one second horizontal member to which the fixed portion is fixed,
• the two tabs protrude from the inclined portion of the fixed portion and sandwich the coupling member,
• a distance between the inclined portion and the second edge portion narrows as a distance from the coupling member sandwiched by the two tabs increases,
• the attachment portion is configured to extend in one direction from each of the two tabs along the coupling member sandwiched by the two tabs, and
• at a portion where the coupling member intersects the at least one first horizontal member or the at least one second horizontal member, the at least one metal fitting fixes the coupling member to the at least one first horizontal member or the at least one second horizontal member.
