Our two greatest problems are gravity and paperwork. We can lick gravity but sometimes the paperwork is overwhelming.

Composite Structures

 

This includes structures comprising of more than one structural material and all those becoming part of a carefully conceived single structural system. These are mainly applied to industrial buildings, stadium structures and multi-storey buildings.


Having proper understanding of strength and weaknesses of each structural material, while conceiving a structural system, attempts are made to distribute the structural materials such that their strength utilization is optimized. Systems being adopted are:


  • Steel roof with concrete substructure
  • Steel frame with concrete deck in multi-storey buildings
  • Composite space frame with combination of concrete and steel members

Design services are offered as per IS, ACI, AISC, AS, BS, CSA, Eurocode, NZS and Saudi Building Code.
