ABSTRACT:
A house erected with preassembled frames, with each frame including a floor truss system, trussed rafter system, and conventional wall studs, which are integrally joined together into a rigid framework capable of supporting loads over long spans without intermediate supports. Each of the components resists imposed loads applied at any point in the frame. The preassembled frames are individually tilted up onto the sill plates at the construction site. Successive frames are erected and structural sheathing is attached thereto until the structure is completed. The structural superiority of the integral truss assembly, both in strength and stiffness, is amenable by structural analysis.
