Hybrid Construction

Hybrid steel concrete Composite construction is a better option due to the strength and stiffness enhancement which is achieved with an efficient use of materials. Composite construction is efficient because concrete is good in compression and steel is good in tension. Structurally, When these two materials combined, then their strengths can be exploited to result in a highly efficient and lightweight design. The reduced self-weight of composite elements have a knock-on effect by reducing the forces in those elements supporting them, including the foundations. Composite construction is robust and does not require tight tolerances, making the system quick to construct. The floor depth reductions that can be achieved using composite construction can also provide significant benefits in terms of the costs of services and the building envelope.
