Abstract:
1. A method of constructing a frame assembly for use in construction of a building, the frame assembly adapted to support a load, the method comprising: positioning a pair of precast elongated linear structural members in spaced apart relationship; extending at least one precast elongated linear structural member between the spaced apart pair of precast elongated linear structural members; forming the precast elongated linear structural members from fiber reinforced cellular concrete, the fiber reinforced cellular concrete providing the structural strength of the precast elongated linear structural members; and connecting the at least one precast elongated linear structural member to at least one of the pair of precast elongated linear structural members by driving a nail or screw through one of the at least one precast elongated linear structural member and the at least one of the pair of precast elongated linear structural members and into the other of the at least one precast elongated linear structural member and the at least one of the pair of precast elongated linear structural members to mechanically join them together.
