ABSTRACT:
A wall construction of the type having horizontal sole plates which are attached to a foundation and a series of vertical studs which extend from the sole plates can be improved by constructing a building or other structure using individual modular sections for the wall construction. Each of the individual modular sections has a sole plate which is attached to or otherwise fastened to the foundation or other supporting structure. Resting on top of and attached to each end of the sole plate is a vertical end stud. Traversing across the top of the end studs is a singular top plate. The end studs are perpendicular to the sole plate and the end studs; the sole plate and the top plate all lie in the same plane. Extending between the top plate and the sole plate and placed a unit distance away from each end stud is a vertical interior stud. Depending upon the length of the modular section additional vertical interior studs are also symmetrically spaced between the end studs. Between each end stud and the vertical interior stud immediately adjacent to it, are a series of cross braces, normally three in number, which extend horizontally between the end stud and the vertical stud adjacent to it. Additionally at the point where two modular units intersect to form perpendicular walls, a third set of cross braces are attached to two adjacent interior studs and the intersecting modular unit is then attached to this third set of cross braces.
