By rapid erection on the building site - even in dry weather in winter - by connecting collar beam frame (a) and cross reinforced plates, and optionally also cross reinforced slabs, a collar beam supporting framework is constructed which, as a dimensionally stable fabric skeleton for multistorey buildings, in association with given foundations and a stiffening core, sustains all horizontal and vertical forces due to dead weight, live weight and wind. When erection is finished, the fabric skeleton is suitable for carrying the weather covering for winter construction measures. The concentration of the loads on the skeleton structure permits the incorporation of "non-supporting" walls for the purpose of possibly changing the space at a later date. The main constituents of the collar beam supporting framework, namely the collar beam frames (a), cross reinforced plates and cross reinforced slabs, are also each usable by themselves in association with other supporting structures. The collar beam frames (a) consist of outer frame parts in the form of a glued laminated wood construction, and of paired tie beams (c) of laminated or solid wood. The cross reinforced plates and the cross reinforced slabs consist of prefabricated slab elements of reinforced concrete or gas concrete, or other slabs (d), which are fitted together and dowelled by means of diagonally cross-jointing galvanised flat-steel strips. The steel strips are welded to the surrounding angle steel edges and form with the elements the supporting plates or slabs. IMAGE
