Abstract

A building structure that can be assembled easily with high assembling precision is provided. The building structure of the present invention is a building structure for transmitting a load on a roof to a post, and includes a unit ( 10 ) joined to a post ( 20 ). The unit includes three or more first beams arranged in parallel in one direction and three or more second beams arranged in parallel in another direction intersecting the one direction. Each first beam and each second beam has a truss structure. In a section where the first beam intersects the second beam, an upper chord of the first beam is disposed on an upper chord of the second beam and is joined to the upper chord of the second beam via a joining member, using a fastener. In the section where the first beam intersects the second beam, a lower chord of the first beam is disposed on a lower chord of the second beam and is joined to the lower chord of the second beam via a joining member, using a fastener.

Claims (11)

1. A building structure for transmitting a load on a roof to a post, the building structure comprising:

a unit joined to a post, the unit including three or more first beams arranged in parallel in one direction and three or more second beams arranged in parallel in another direction intersecting the one direction, wherein each of the first beams and of the second beams has a truss structure, and wherein

in a section where the first beam intersects the second beam, an upper chord of the first beam is disposed on an upper chord of the second beam and is joined to the upper chord of the second beam via a joining member, using a fastener, and a lower chord of the first beam is disposed on a lower chord of the second beam and is joined to the lower chord of the second beam via a joining member, using a fastener.

2. The building structure according to claim 1 , wherein an upper chord, a lower chord, and a diagonal bracing that make up the truss structure are made of light shaped steels having the same sectional dimension.

3. The building structure according to claim 1 , wherein a first beam and/or a second beam has an elongated portion overhanging from a girder.

4. The building structure according to claim 1 , comprising a plurality of units, wherein

upper chords on respective ends of units adjacent to a post are jointed together via a joining member, using a fastener, while lower chords on respective ends of the units adjacent to the post are jointed together via a joining member, using a fastener.

5. A building having the building structure according to claim 1 .

6. A building method for a building having a building structure for transmitting a load on a roof to a post, the building method comprising:

a process of forming a unit on a foundation on which posts are already set in place, the unit being structured such that the unit includes three or more first beams arranged in parallel in one direction and three or more second beams arranged in parallel in another direction intersecting the one direction, that each of the first beams and of the second beams has a truss structure, and that in a section where the first beam intersects the second beam, an upper chord of the first beam is disposed on an upper chord of the second beam and is joined to the upper chord of the second beam via a joining member, using a fastener, and a lower chord of the first beam is disposed on a lower chord of the second beam and is joined to the lower chord of the second beam via a joining member, using a fastener; and

a process of lifting up the unit while using the posts as a guide.
