The 52/992 sub-concrete trapezoidal form is one of the most suitable forms used to provide integrity between concrete and steel in composite structures. It provides concrete savings and high durability. It can be produced from galvanized sheet in different thicknesses between 0.70 – 1.50 mm. Its net coverage area is 992 mm. It can be cut in desired lengths. The maximum length is 15 meters.

What is Composite Structure?

The most frequently used feature in building technologies is the ability to use different building materials together. The most important feature of the composite structure is the use of concrete and steel together. Various combinations of steel with high tensile and flexible properties and concrete with high pressure strength and corrosion resistance are used and applied in steel + concrete composite structures in the world. It is possible to combine the positive properties of steel and concrete without any obstacles with the composite construction method.

The composite building sector has an important place in the construction sector. The fast assembly advantage of the building, independent of the weather conditions, allows it to be used before the planned date. It allows more flexible use and more usage areas in areas where large columns are not needed. Since the beam dimensions are lower than reinforced concrete, it allows more floors to be made for the same building height thanks to the thinness of the floors, despite the wide openings.

Advantages of composite structures Steel + Concrete

• The low height of the building provides maximum floor opportunity.
• It allows more economical bridge construction as it allows the bridge carrier spacing to vary between 40-80m.
• Steel carrier structures allow column-free, wall and uninterrupted space.
• The building is 40-50% lighter than reinforced concrete, which means it takes less earthquake load.
• Installation is easy in steel structures.
• Building the building with steel columns provides a great advantage against fire. Heat spreads slowly to the body.
• Concrete and steel move with the fully welded stud, tested and approved in world norms. This plays a key role in building security.
