ABSTRACT:
A construction system for building a steel frame using steel members. Rafters form a roof portion of the steel frame, and a ceiling joist having two ends forms a ceiling portion of the steel frame. Compression webs and tension webs, disposed between the rafters and the ceiling joists, distribute the load between the rafters and the ceiling joists. The tension webs are disposed between the rafters, the ceiling joists, and the compression webs, and inhibit distortion of the roof. A peak bracket connects two rafters and a compression web together. Eave brackets connect the two unconnected ends of the two connected rafters to the ends of the ceiling joist, such that each end of the ceiling joist aligns with one of the unconnected ends of the two connected rafters. Compression brackets connect the compression webs to the ceiling joist. A center bracket connects two of the tension webs and one of the compression webs to the ceiling joist. Channel brackets connect one of the tension webs and one of the compression webs to one of the rafters and the ceiling joist.
