New building framing system employing staggered, wall-height concrete trusses or beams was adapted by Portland Cement Assn; concept employs story-high concrete walls extending across building's width, and supported only at ends; by staggering locations of these wall beams on alternate floors, large clear areas are created on each floor; floor slabs span only half spacing of wall beams; analysis of wall-beam under vertical loading is detailed; laboratory load-testing of half-scale model established basic correctness of design; economic comparison of three comparable apartment building framing systems.
