A frame assembly for a building is disclosed. The frame assembly comprises broadly two vertically spaced horizontally extending frame members (12) interconnected by two horizontally spaced vertically extending frame members (11) thereby forming a rectangle. Each of the members has a central channel opening to one face of the member and two side channels which are positioned on each side of the central channel. The horizontal member has the base webs of the side channels removed at the ends thereof (18). By contrast the vertically extending member has the base web of the central channel removed at the ends thereof (8). The configured ends of respectively the horizontal and vertical members thereby provide complementary mating formations (19, 9) for the attachment of the horizontal (12) and vertical (11) members. Typically attachment of the horizontal (12) to the vertical (11) members occurs by means of fastening elements which extend in three mutually orthogonal axes thereby improving the axial and torsional load bearing properties of the frame assembly.
L'invention concerne un ensemble cadre destiné à un bâtiment, qui, d'une façon générale, comprend deux éléments cadres horizontaux (12) disposés à distance l'un de l'autre dans le sens vertical, reliés par deux éléments cadres verticaux (11) disposés à distance l'un de l'autre dans le sens horizontal, de façon à former un rectangle. Chaque élément présente un canal central s'ouvrant sur une de ses faces et deux canaux latéraux positionnés de chaque côté du canal central. Sur l'élément horizontal, le matériau de base est enlevé au niveau des extrémités (18) des canaux latéraux, tandis que sur l'élément vertical, ledit matériau est enlevé au niveau de l'extrémité (8) du canal central. Les extrémités configurées des éléments horizontaux et verticaux présentent ainsi des formations appariées complémentaires (19, 9) qui permettent de les fixer. Typiquement, la fixation des éléments horizontaux (12) sur les verticaux (11) se fait au moyen d'éléments de fixation allongés selon trois axes mutuellement orthogonaux, ce qui améliore la résistance axiale et la résistance aux efforts de torsion de l'ensemble cadre.
