Abstract:
A composite assembly includes a series of elongated layers joined lengthwise thereof. At least two of the elongated layers each have an upper elongated portion and a lower elongated portion secured together in an end-to-end relationship at a joint therebetween by a connector arrangement. The upper elongated portion is constructed of a wood material, and the lower elongated portion is constructed of a non-wood material. The lower elongated portion may have a reinforcing rod therein.

Claim (Index 34):
A method of constructing a composite assembly for use in construction of a building, the method comprising:\n providing at least a first elongated member having a first surface in a first layer and a second elongated member having a second surface in a second layer, wherein the first and second surfaces are configured to engage to form the composite assembly; providing at least one dual sided connector between the first and second surfaces, the at least one dual sided connector comprising: a unitary base plate having a first surface and a second surface; a first tooth pair extending outwardly from the first surface of the unitary base plate, the first tooth pair comprising a first tooth and a second tooth, the first tooth and the second tooth each having a vertical axis perpendicular to the first surface of the base plate, the first and second tooth being twisted about their vertical axis; and a second tooth pair extending outwardly from the second surface of the base plate, the second tooth pair comprising a third tooth and a fourth tooth, the third tooth and the fourth tooth each having a vertical axis perpendicular to the second surface of the base plate, the third tooth and fourth tooth being twisted about their vertical axis; and applying a compressive force against the first elongated member and the second elongated member to drive the first tooth pair into the first elongated member and the second tooth pair into the second elongated member.
