ABSTRACT:
A building construction is provided, including a plurality of connectors. Each of the connectors has an upper portion, a lower portion, a flange extending outwardly between the upper portion and the lower portion, and an axial bore extending through the connector from the upper portion to the lower portion. The upper portion and the lower portion define sloped bearing surfaces. The connectors are positioned between a plurality of building structural members. The upper and lower portions of the connectors extend into recesses in the structural members having sloped walls corresponding to the sloped bearing surfaces of the connectors. A tensioner extends through the bores of the connectors to connect the structural members. The bearing surfaces of at least two of the connectors have different slopes.
