ABSTRACT:
The lightweight metal construction system begins with a beam formed from a single piece of cold formed sheet steel or other sheet metal which is bent lengthwise along four lines to form a triangular cross-section with two wings, side-by-side, extending from its apex. Various connectors which have lengths much shorter than the lengths of the beams are provided for attaching one beam to another. Connectors include gussets made of sheet metal or wood stud sections, The ends of the beams may be modified to form joints which are used to connect two beams together or to connect the beam to another construction material. Brackets formed from strips of sheet steel or other metal are bent to conform to outer surfaces of the beams or other construction materials are used to attach the beams to other beams or other construction materials. Fasteners or adhesive may be used to firmly attach the joints, connectors and/or brackets to the beams and construction materials.
