A building support structure that includes at least one elongated stud having a planer web and rectangular flanges joined to opposing longitudinal edges of the web with the bottom wall of each flange being co-planar with the web, a right angle bracket, each leg of which contains a pair of parallel slots passing downwardly from the top edge of the leg at equal distance to divide the leg into a center section having a width that is about equal to the width of the web and two end sections each having a width that is about equal to the inside width of each flange, the top portion of each end section being turned inwardly at an angle greater than 90 degrees to form a locking tab that has an interference fit with the inside section of each flange. One leg of the bracket is connected to the end of the stud by sliding the center section of the leg over the bottom surface of the web and the locking tab into opposing flanges of the stud whereby the stud is prevented from pulling out of the bracket.
A building support structure that includes, at least one elongated stud having a planar web having a predetermined width and rectangular flanges having a predetermined inside width that is joined to opposing longitudinal edges of the so that a bottom surface of each flange is co-planar with said web,
