Abstract
The present invention generally relates to a building including a wall panel assembly, and a roof assembly supported by the wall panel assembly. The wall panel assembly includes a wall panel and a coupler for receiving the wall panel. The coupler couples a joist to the wall panel. The coupler includes a receptacle for receiving the wall panel and a support extending from the receptacle and for supporting a joist. The roof assembly includes a resilient spacer and a roof panel located adjacent the resilient spacer.
Claims20
A wall panel assembly including:
- a wall panel at least partially defining a hollow configured for receiving a reinforcement member in the hollow to reinforce the wall panel;
- and
- a coupler configured for coupling a joist to the wall panel, the coupler including:
- a receptacle configured for receiving the wall panel;
- and
- a support extending from the receptacle and configured for supporting the joist;
- wherein the hollow is formed at a joint between the wall panel and an adjacent wall panel such that the reinforcement member is configured for aligning the wall panel with the adjacent wall panel.
A wall panel assembly including:
- a first wall panel at least partially defining a hollow at an end wall thereof;
- a second wall panel at least partially defining a hollow at an end wall thereof, the second wall panel being arranged in an end-to-end abutment relationship with the first wall panel such that the first and second wall panels define a hollow at a joint therebetween;
- a reinforcement member configured for insertion in the hollow at the joint between the first and second wall panels to reinforce and align the first and second wall panels;
- and
- a coupler configured for coupling a joist to the first wall panel, the coupler including:
- a receptacle configured for receiving the first wall panel;
- and
- a support extending from the receptacle and configured for supporting the joist.
A building panel assembly including:
- a resilient spacer;
- a building panel located adjacent the resilient spacer and defining an aperture;
- and
- a fastener extending though the aperture and spacer, and being of lesser cross sectional area than the aperture, wherein the position of the fastener within the aperture can vary during expansion and contraction of the building panel without stressing the building panel.
A building including:
- a wall panel assembly, comprising:
- a wall panel at least partially defining a hollow configured for receiving a reinforcement member in the hollow to reinforce the wall panel;
- and
- a coupler configured for coupling a joist to the wall panel, the coupler including:
- a receptacle configured for receiving the wall panel;
- and
- a support extending from the receptacle and configured for supporting the joist;
- wherein the hollow is formed at a joint between the wall panel and an adjacent wall panel such that the reinforcement member is configured for aligning the wall panel with the adjacent wall panel;
- and
- a roof assembly supported by the wall panel assembly, wherein the roof assembly comprises:
- a resilient spacer;
- a building panel located adjacent the resilient spacer and defining an aperture;
- and
- a fastener extending though the aperture and spacer, and being of lesser cross sectional area than the aperture, wherein the position of the fastener within the aperture can vary during expansion and contraction of the building panel without stressing the building panel.
