Abstract:
The present Stacked Wall Truss Construction and its use in multi¬story buildings makes use of prefabricated modular wall elements ( 100 ) that are interconnected in three dimensions to enable the rapid completion of building construction with improved quality of construction over that found in traditional multi-story building construction. The resultant building is a structural steel frame without the use of stacking columns. Vierendeel trusses ( 100 ) with vertical members ( 101 - 105 ) of tube steel are used, thereby the construction process becomes stacking trusses fit up as complete walls, not erecting columns. An inner “Mating Member” ( 131 - 135 ) enables each truss to be near perfectly positioned on top of the installed truss below.

Claim (Index 11):
A multi-story building comprising:\n a foundation to support walls of the multi-story building; a plurality of wall trusses interconnected in a three-dimensional matrix to form both a plurality of multi-story exterior walls to enclose a volume of space and a plurality of internal structural partitions which are connected together and to the exterior walls in at least two planar layers to provide lateral support to the exterior walls to which they are interconnected; wherein a set of the wall trusses are affixed to the foundation; wherein each of the wall trusses comprises:\n a plurality of vertical members, adjacent ones of which are interconnected at the top and bottom by horizontal beams, wherein at least two vertical members of the wall truss comprise hollow columns; \n wall truss mating members, each insertable into top ends of the hollow columns of a first wall truss and the bottom ends of the hollow columns of a second wall truss that is vertically positioned on top of the first wall truss.
