Diagonal beam joining hardware and beam connecting structure

A beam connecting structure for joining at least one beam to a diagonal beam that obliquely intersects with the at least one beam in plan view using diagonal beam joining hardware such that the at least one beam is a continued beam with respect to the diagonal beam, wherein

• the diagonal beam joining hardware comprising a plurality of metal sheets formed together to comprise:
• a first metal sheet of the plurality of metal sheets formed as a beam splicing part configured to be attached to a side face of the continued beam;
• a second metal sheet of the plurality of metal sheets formed as an extending part protruding from an intermediate part of the beam splicing part in a width direction of the beam splicing part so as to make a T-shape together with the beam splicing part in plan view;
• and
• a third metal sheet of the plurality of metal sheets formed as a beam receiving hardware mounting part by bending so as to extend from an end edge of the extending part to form a plane angle with respect to the beam splicing part, wherein
• the beam splicing part is divided by the extending part into two areas each comprising a first plurality of through holes, and
• the beam receiving hardware mounting part includes a second plurality of through holes configured to be connected to beam receiving hardware comprising a bracket that is attached to an end part of the diagonal beam,
• the beam splicing part is attached and fastened to a side face of the at least one beam by a through bolt that penetrates the at least one beam in a beam width direction,
• the beam receiving hardware is fitted in a slit formed in the end part of the diagonal beam,
• the beam receiving hardware includes:
• a contacting part having two edge parts and a shape of a vertically elongated rectangle;
• and a pair of inserting parts protruding from the two edge parts of the contacting part at a right angle and being parallel to each other, and
• the contacting part of the beam receiving hardware is superimposed on the beam receiving hardware mounting part of the diagonal beam joining hardware and fastened to the beam receiving hardware mounting part by a bolt and a nut.
