Wooden I-beams (main joists)
Twin I-beams (rigel)
Insert block (plywood/OSB/board)
Bracket for beam support
Structural angle bracket
Galvanized nails/screws
Installation screw 4.0×30

Materials and Components:

Wooden I-beams (main joists)
Twin I-beams (rigel)
Insert block (plywood/OSB/board)
Bracket for beam support
Structural angle bracket
Galvanized nails/screws
Installation screw 4.0×30
Bracket for beam support specifically for twin beams

Node 2: End-to-end connection of a twin beam to another twin beam, supported by brackets

This configuration is utilized in designs for wide-span joists with complex structures, such as when a staircase or an atrium is centrally positioned within the span.

Node 3: Support for external walls on flooring, with joists perpendicular to the external walls

This setup is used when the main joists of the floor are perpendicular to the external walls. Blocking beams are installed at the ends between the main joists to secure the I-beams in a vertical position and to distribute the load from the wall. External walls can be mounted directly on the beams or on pre-installed subfloor boards.

Materials and Components:

Wooden I-beams (main joists)
Block beams
External wall of the first floor
External wall of the second floor
Galvanized nails/screws angled at 30 degrees horizontally
Galvanized nails/screws angled at 30 degrees vertically

Materials and Components:

Rough covering (OSB-3 panels, plywood, boards)
Vapor barrier
Insulation
Wooden I-beams (joists)
Vapor barrier or waterproofing
Lathing on the lower flange of the I-beam (strips of OSB-3, plywood, or timber)

This setup effectively combines multiple layers to enhance both sound and thermal insulation, ensuring a robust and energy-efficient floor structure.

Node 4: "Layer Cake" Flooring Variant

This method involves the use of mineral wool or basalt fiber insulation as soundproofing and thermal insulation materials.
