Full-time nodal connection between column and beam

摘要

A nodal connection (16) for full-time seating and gravity blocking, formed on a node between an elongated column (12) having separate faces (12b) and corners (12c) and the end of an elongated beam (14) in a construction framework (10) comprising an aura collar (22) surrounding the anchored column at the end of at least one beam (14); and characterized in that the nodal connection (16) further comprises four spacers (20) in a longitudinal location defined in the column (12) in which each of the spacers (20) is anchored to a different column corner (12c) through the legs (20c) that are (a) wrapped around a column corner (12c) and (b) welded to a pair of column faces (12b) that join together through the corner (12c) ); an interface bearing structure distributed in each of, and interconnecting, said halo collar (22) and said separators (20) with the halo collar (22) circling spatially, and separated by the separators (20) of, said column (12) and arranged with the free clearance space (50) existing between the aura collar (22) and the column faces (12b).
