ABSTRACT:
A structural system of modular components which promotes rapid erection of building type structures is disclosed. The modular building structure system comprises a plurality of beam members, a plurality of column support members, and a connector means for affixing the beam members into a structural gridwork. Each beam member is positioned between and aligned with two nodes of a planar assemblage of interconnected polygons to form a structural gridwork that is congruent with the planar assemblage of interconnected polygons. The column support members are positioned between two structural gridworks and aligned with two nodes, one node being in each structural gridwork. The column support members include endpieces enabling the column support members to be affixed to the structural gridwork. The connector means comprises a plurality of tubular hubs positioned at the nodes of the structural gridworks and a plurality of radial flange sets. The radial flange sets include a plurality of radial flanges spaced circumferentially around the tubular hub and extending in the directions of the beam members. The radial flanges are enabled to affix to the sides of the tubular hub and the beam members are enabled to affix to the radial flanges.
