ABSTRACT:
A wall framing element composed of a vertically extending load bearing member and two obliquely extending brace members which in combination define a generally triangular shape. The obliquely extending brace members are joined to one another at an apex or junction point and a member secured to the junction point affords attachment to the load bearing member of an adjacent element. Telescoping connections at opposite ends of the load bearing member expedite erection of successive stories. Joist members and means for effecting rapid attachment of the joist members are disposed adjacent the upper extremities of the load bearing members. The joist members retain the frame elements in alignment and afford a base for a floor. When erected, the joist members are spaced below the upper extremity of the load bearing members so that the telescoping connection of the elements in the succeeding story can be rapidly effected. A method of erecting a multi-story building frame which employs a plurality of identical frame elements, the resulting frame having the requisite strength and rigidity.
