ABSTRACT:
A dynamic eave building system comprising a flexible joint for first vertical and second angulated structural members pivotally connected one to the other. The adjacent ends of the first and second structural members are mitered into a mating configuration and spaced one from the other by the pivot joint. The pivot joint comprises a pivot pin received through aligned apertures formed in one of the members and in a knee splice secured in the other. The knee splice is positioned to define the flexing space between the mitered ends. The second angulated member also includes moisture collection troughs formed longitudinally therealong. The first member is provided in a hollow configuration for receiving fluid flow from the troughs of the second angulated member. Both members are adapted for securement of conventional curtain wall material, siding or roofing thereon. In this manner, loads on the second angulated member is transferred directly to the first vertical member through the pivot joint and any flexing therein is accommodated by the space between mitered edges.
