Abstract:
1. A moment-resistant building column insert system comprising: a. a vertical building column of generally hollow rectangular or cylindrical cross-section having inner walls and outer walls with a plurality of patterns of transverse mounting holes there through and having a building column top end for incorporating with a plurality of roof or single story beams, a bottom building column end for incorporating to a building foundation, and a plurality of building column intermediate spans for incorporating to a plurality of I-beams; b. a building column insert of generally hollow rectangular or cylindrical cross-section having a column insert top end and a column insert bottom end with inner column insert walls and outer column insert walls inserted to the building column inner walls at the building column top end, at the building column bottom end and along the column, wherein the column insert outer wall sizes are less than the building column inner walls sizes, to enable frictional, slidable or free fitting within the building column with a plurality of transverse column insert mounting holes arranged in a pattern there through and aligned with the plurality of patterns of building column transverse building column mounting holes; c. a plurality of steel I-beams have a cross section height from an I-beam top planar flange to an I-beam bottom planar flange; d. a plurality of beam endplates of generally rectangular or cylindrical-quadrant shape incorporated to a plurality of building I-beam ends, wherein one side of the beam endplate abuts an I-beam end and another side of the beam end plate abuts the building column outer wall and the endplate has a pattern of mounting holes there through for aligning to the similar pattern of building column mounting holes; e. a plurality of nut plate assemblies of generally rectangular or cylindrical-quadrant shape and about the size of the beam endplates comprising a top nut plate with a plurality of nut pockets arranged in a pattern for holding a plurality of threaded nuts and the top nut plate is sealed by a back nut plate using welding means for holding the nuts in the nut pockets coaxially with a plurality of nut plate assembly mounting holes arranged in a pattern similar to the column insert mounting holes through the top nut plate and back nut plate and aligned with the column insert mounting holes, where one side of the back nut plate abuts the column insert inner wall and is welded there to; f. a plurality of mounting bolts inserted through the plurality of patterns of endplate mounting holes; through the pattern of building column mounting holes, through the of patterns of column insert mounting holes and through the patterns of nut plate assembly mounting holes in the back nut plate and rotatably tightened to the plurality of threaded nuts held by the nut plate assembly; g. a column base plate of generally planar rectangle shape having a generally rectangular building column port for receiving the building column there through is incorporated transverse to the column bottom end using welding means, wherein the column base plate has a plurality of anchor bolt holes there through in a pattern along the base plate perimeter for receiving a plurality of threaded anchor bolts there through; h. a plurality of column insert plates of generally planar-rectangle shape having a generally rectangular column insert port for receiving the column insert there through are incorporated transverse along the column insert length and the column insert plates are further incorporated beneath the column insert bottom end using the plurality of anchor bolts having a plurality of threaded positioning nuts along the anchor bolt lengths or using welding means, wherein the column insert plates have a plurality of anchor bolt holes there through in a pattern along the column insert plate perimeter; i. a concrete foundation integrated with the column insert, column insert plates and anchor bolts, wherein the concrete is integrated using vibrating means before hardening; j. a plurality of anchor nuts are threadably tightened to the anchor bolts positioned in the base plate anchor bolt holes to secure the base plate and building column to the concrete foundation and column insert; and k. a mortar base integrated with the column bottom end, anchor nuts, anchor bolts having washers, and column base plate.
