ABSTRACT:
A method of building which uses lengthwise stackable plank-like members of various materials or configurations each of which has at least one wholly extending transverse hole which when included in the building structure aligns with a similar hole of the other plank-like components. Joining members are applied in holes with adjacent slots to initially hold components together and serve as guides for assembly. A measure of racking resistance is provided to the building by shear resisting members such as a dowel or the equivalent being driven from each subsequent plank-like component into the aligned hole of a previously located component, the abutment between the components ocurring prior to the location of the shear resisting member. Other related methods including the use of modularly spaced holes, some only of which are used for racking resistance are disclosed.
