ABSTRACT:
A method and means is disclosed for the construction of clearspan foldable building structures, in which structural beams, capable of spanning the desired distance, are assembled on top of and pivotally connected to supporting units arranged in a horizontal plane; and lifting the beams causes the mid span of the beams to deflect upward and the supporting units to be lifted up and rotated into a generally vertical position; in which position the supporting unit is rigidly connected to the beams and the assembly is placed in position and anchored to the foundation of the structure; and releasing the lifting force permits the beams to deflect down at midspan and develop a resisting moment at each connection to the supporting units.
