ABSTRACT:
A longitudinal stabilizing system for a premanufactured building having support joists extending along the length of the underside of the building and being supported above the ground by upright piers. The system comprises at least one foundation plate, a joist connector, a plate connector, and a rectilinear strut. The foundation plate is placed between the pier and the ground. The joist connector attaches to the joist of the building. Plate clamps may be used in conjunction with the joist connector to grasp the joist. The plate connector attaches to the foundation plate. The strut is attached to the joist connector at one end and the plate connector at the other end such that the strut slopes downward from the joist towards the ground. In high winds, the weight of the building and the weight of the pier resting on the foundation plate retard lateral movement of the foundation plate and the end of the strut attached to the plate connector, while the end of the strut attached to the joist connector resists movement of the joist along its length.
