Section 27 of 104
25. Initial Material and Structural System Scope
Stable section ID: S05-CON-016-SECTION-27 · 13 content blocks
The Initial Profile shall use a limited and clearly defined material and structural-system scope.
The preferred initial approach should combine conventional, code-recognized structural members with System05-specific Nodes, Cartridges, and Interfaces.
Readily available structural lumber, engineered wood, steel sections, or other regionally common members may be used where their properties, grades, tolerances, durability, and connection behavior are adequately controlled.
For an initial timber-oriented implementation, the connection architecture should use:
a metallic or otherwise code-verifiable structural core;
material-specific Cartridges or adapters;
replaceable protective or composite shells where justified;
inspectable primary load paths;
standardized System05 Interface geometry.
System05-specific alignment, robotic handling, identity, sensing, fire protection, and future-upgrade features may be integrated around the structural core without obscuring its primary engineering behavior.
The initial structural system should prioritize regular low-rise framing, repeated bays, understandable load paths, and accessible connections.
The Profile shall define applicable limits for gravity, lateral, uplift, impact, fire, moisture, durability, fatigue, and temporary construction conditions.
Alternative materials shall remain possible in future Profiles, but Evidence from one material system shall not automatically qualify another.
