Composite Steel Beam Design Benefits

Shop applied shear studs not affected by inclement weather Significant tonnage savings when compared to non-composite solution Additional tonnage saved with the introduction of Cellular beams Top flange can be left un-painted without additional fire protection Whole frame can be galvanised without effecting composite design 2B Progressive collapse inherently dealt with using composite steel beam Enhanced diaphragm action with the interaction of shear studs Composite steel beam design can be achieved without structural topping
