Load Transfer Diagram
The dead and live loads acting on roof and floors are
transferred through I beams to the large steel cross
beam. The force from the truss is continued into
columns and moved to ground. The loads from the
escalator and the duct work are also transferred to
columns and brought down to foundation

Spanning System Gerberettes and Columns
• Trusses resting on 8 meter long gerberettes
• Column free
• Gerberettes and columns – Pin connection
• Gerberettes will rotate when forces will act Load
ing
• 850mm Columns fixed to the ground
• Load transferred to the ground
• 200mm pre-tensioned solid steel tie-rods tie
the gerberettes to the ground
• Creates negative moment in gerberettes to
counter the forces in columns
• This method
incorporates the benefit
of pre-tensioned
technique of reinforced
concrete structure with
steel structure. Compression Tension

Loading - 1.2D + 1.6L + .5W
Gerberettes act as hinges, putting
internal column in compression
and exterior “column” into tension.
