MODULAR STRUCTURAL BUILDING SYSTEM AND DEVICE
A modular building system includes a joint for interconnecting a network of struts in a tetrahedral arrangement for forming a structural component supporting a floor, ceiling or post. The interconnected struts have a uniform length and join together with other struts at a predetermined angle defined by the joint. Once connected, the struts and joints form a tensioned network of a load bearing surface or post, where the members are in a tensioned arrangement at an equilibrium. External forces, such as moving loads, winds, and rain tend to spread the loads across the network of tensioned members, temporarily resulting in compression along some of the rigid struts. Panels join the strut network or lattice by load caps secured to the joints for receiving triangular panels matching the joint spacing.
