ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for forming elevated structures. A first construction component is emplaced at a construction site, supported by an underlying earth formation. A second construction component is locked in cantilevered relation to the first such component. A support is extended downwardly from the second component, distal the first component, into load bearing engagement with the earth formation, whereafter the second component is interlocked to the support. The ends of the longitudinal components have improved locks in which a connector of the male lock can be passed through a receiving bore in a female lock only if oriented in a particular angular position, whereafter, if rotated to a different angular position, it cannot be withdrawn from the receiving bore. Similar locks are provided for interconnecting such longitudinal components in side-by-side relation via transom components. At least some of the ends of the longitudinal components have guides for the supports, with an improved manner of interassociating such guides with the remainders of the components.
