Abstract
Disclosed is a load bearing system for a residential structure. The load bearing system comprises two or more structural load bearing columns, at least one beam extending between and connected with respect to in-use upper ends of the two or more structural load bearing columns, and at least one cladding panel mounted to extend between a foundation of the residential structure and the at least one beam. The columns are mounted to a foundation of the residential structure in spaced relation to the or each other column and comprise a periphery defined by hollow-section members and one or more internal bracing elements extending between the hollow-section members.
Claims20
A load bearing system for a residential structure comprising:
- two or more structural load bearing columns, each column for mounting to a foundation of the residential structure in spaced relation to the or each other column, each column comprising:
- a periphery defined by hollow-section members, the periphery comprising opposing in-use vertical members and opposing in-use top and bottom chords, wherein a lower end region of the column is configured for being connected to an underlying part of the structure and an upper end region of the column is configured for being connected to an overlying part of the structure;
- and
- one or more internal bracing elements extending between the hollow-section members;
- at least one beam extending between and connected with respect to the upper end region of the two or more structural load bearing columns;
- and
- at least one cladding panel mounted to extend between the foundation of the residential structure and the at least one beam.
A load bearing system for a residential structure comprising:
- a plurality of structural load bearing columns, each column for mounting to a foundation of the residential structure in spaced relation to the or each other column, each column comprising:
- a periphery defined by hollow-section members, the periphery comprising opposing in-use vertical members and opposing in-use top and bottom chords, wherein a lower end region of the column is configured for being connected to an underlying part of the structure and an upper end region of the column is configured for being connected to an overlying part of the structure;
- and
- one or more internal bracing elements extending between the hollow-section members;
- a plurality of beams extending between and connected with respect to the upper end region of the structural load bearing columns, the plurality of beams being arranged end-to-end whereby the beams define a closed perimeter at the upper ends of the structural load bearing columns.
A structural load bearing column comprising a periphery defined by hollow-section members and one or more internal bracing elements, the periphery comprising opposing in-use vertical members and opposing in-use top and bottom chords that are each of hollow section, a lower end region of the column configured for being connected to an underlying structure and an upper end region of the column configured for being connected to an overlying structure, the top and bottom chords extending between the opposing vertical members, and the one or more internal bracing elements extending between the opposing vertical members.
