ABSTRACT:
A connector for connecting a first structural member, for example, a beam and a second structural member, for example, a column, which connection includes a first plate, a second plate attached substantially perpendicularly to the first plate and a third plate for mounting the connector to the column. The second plate is loosely fitted into a predetermined cut provided in the beam. The third plate is attached to one end of at least one of the first and second plate. The connector includes rods which can be closely fit into predetermined holes provided in the beam so that the connector and the beam can be connected tightly. The rods are pin-shaped and tapered in one end. The beam has a cut portion in a connecting portion for connecting the beam to the connector. The cut portion has loosely fitted therein the second plate and is substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the beam. The cut portion is beveled at a lower end thereof so as to easily insert the second plate into the cut portion. The beam includes holes in the connecting portion, into which the rods are closely fitted. The bore size of the holes is substantially identical to or slightly smaller than the diameter of the rod so as to fit the rods into the holes with a close fit.
