Strong Dog Panel Connection System

Abstract

This is a Panel Connection System for structured panel buildings consisting of a strong dog panel connection system that connects structural insulated composite roof, wall and floor panels to each other and to other surfaces such as floors and walls. It uses dog panel as connectors between the panels. The system consists of two parts: A) the field installed Strong Dog type one strip for wall to wall and certain roof to wall connections, and the field installed Strong Dog 2 strip type 2 for wall and to floor and certain wall to roof.
