Tall Wall Construction of Standard Wall Modules

Abstract

A tall wall construction for a multiple floor building is provided. The tall wall includes a bottom or first wall frame panel constructed to a standard wall height specification, a top or second wall frame panel constructed to a standard wall height specification, and a structural truss having a height equal to a corresponding floor system. The first framed wall panel is connected directly to the bottom of the structural truss panel and the second framed wall panel is connected directly to the top of the structural truss panel so that the first framed wall panel, the structural truss panel and the second framed wall panel are connected together in vertically alignment forming the tall wall construction.

1 . A wood framed tall wall construction comprising:
 a first framed wall panel having a horizontally extending sole plate, a horizontally extending double top plate vertically spaced from said sole plate, and a plurality of horizontally spaced studs vertically extending between said sole plate and said double top plate;   a second framed wall panel having a horizontally extending sole plate, a horizontally extending double top plate vertically spaced from the sole plate, and a plurality of horizontally spaced studs vertically extending between said sole plate and said double top plate;   a structural truss panel having a horizontally extending single bottom chord, a horizontally extending double top chord vertically spaced from said bottom chord, and a plurality of webs vertically extending between said bottom chord and said top chord; and   wherein said double top plate of said first framed wall panel is connected directly to said bottom chord of said structural truss panel and said sole plate of said second framed wall panel is connected directly to said double top chord of said structural truss panel so that the first framed wall panel, said structural truss panel and said second framed wall panel are connected together in vertically alignment forming the tall wall construction.   
     
     
         2 . The wood framed tall wall construction of  claim 1 , wherein said first wall frame panel and said second wall frame panel have the same height. 
     
     
         3 . The wood framed tall wall construction of  claim 1 , wherein said first wall frame panel and said second wall frame panel have different heights. 
     
     
         4 . The wood framed tall wall construction of  claim 1 , wherein the studs of the first wall frame panel are selected from a group of standardized stud lengths consisting of 92⅝ inches, 104⅝ inches, and 116⅝ inches. 
     
     
         5 . The wood framed tall wall construction of  claim 1 , wherein the studs of the second wall frame panel are selected from a group of standardized stud lengths consisting of 92⅝ inches, 104⅝ inches, and 116⅝ inches. 
     
     
         6 . The wood framed tall wall construction of  claim 1 , wherein said structural truss has a height equal to the height of a corresponding floor system.
