Claim:
A moment resistant building column insert system, comprising: a. a building column, wherein said building column is generally tubular shape having at least one pattern of through-holes transverse to a length of said tube; b. an building column insert having column of generally tubular shape comprising: i. a pre-hardened structural filler disposed within said insert; ii. at least one said pattern of through-holes transverse to a length of said insert and through said structural filler; iii. at least one threaded element incorporated to an inner wall of said insert and disposed concentric to at least one of said insert through-holes; iv. a threaded element cover disposed over said threaded element; and v. an insert positioning element disposed axially along said insert, wherein said positioning element enables alignment of said insert through-hole pattern with said column through-hole pattern, whereby said insert is sized to fit within said column; c. at least one beam, wherein said beam comprises a mounting plate attached to a beam end, whereby said mounting plate comprises mounting plate through-holes arranged in said pattern, whereas said mounting plate abuts an outside wall of said column; d. at least one erection connector, wherein said erection connector comprises an erection bolt, whereby said erection bolt spans through said mounting plate, through a wall of said column, through a wall of said insert and into said threaded element, whereas said beam is desirably positioned on said building column; e. at least one set of mounting plate connector hardware, wherein said mounting plate connector hardware comprises; i. a mounting plate through-bolt; ii. a mounting plate nut; and iii. a mounting plate washer; wherein when said pattern of mounting plate through-holes are aligned with said pattern of column through-holes said erection connector is secured to said threaded element, wherein said mounting plate through-bolts are inserted through said mounting plate holes, said column holes, said insert through-holes, said filler through-holes, and into said mounting plate nuts, wherein said mounting plate connector hardware is pre-tensioned through said pre-hardened structural filler in said insert, wherein deforming or crushing of said column is prevented by said pre-hardened filler during said pre-tensioning.
