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 1):
A method for constructing a multi-story building, comprising:\n constructing a foundation to support walls of the multi-story building; assembling a plurality of wall trusses, each consisting of 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; affixing the bottom of a set of wall trusses to the foundation; for each floor of the multi-story building:\n inserting a mating member into the top of the hollow columns of at least two of the vertical members for each wall truss, where the mating member protrudes above the top of the hollow column in which it is inserted; and \n stacking additional wall trusses on top of the existing wall trusses installed for the floor below, by inserting the protruding top of the mating member of the vertical members into the bottom of the hollow columns of the additional wall truss.
