Engineered upper-floor steel framing designed to mount seamlessly onto poured concrete podiums, subterranean basements, or central elevator cores.
Precision manufacturing parameters, steel grades, connection hardware, and performance metrics.
How vertical gravity, lateral wind, and seismic forces are dissipated through our engineered framing.
Hybrid multi-storey structures where upper storeys utilize lightweight steel framing or structural steel columns mounted atop a reinforced concrete ground-floor commercial podium or around a central concrete elevator/stair core. Vertical reactions are transferred via heavy cast-in anchor baseplates and post-installed chemical anchor studs per ETA standards.
The rigid concrete core or shear podium provides primary lateral shear and torsional resistance (TEd), while the lightweight steel superstructure dissipates seismic energy through ductile diaphragm connections, reducing foundation moment loads by up to 40%.
Thermal and acoustic decoupling isolator pads at the steel-concrete interface prevent acoustic flanking noise and condensation. Steel framing cavities house mineral wool achieving U = 0.12 W/m²K.
Fully verified structural calculations meeting European, British, and international building codes.
General rules for composite steel and concrete structures.
Design of anchor bolts and chemical fastenings for use in concrete.
Seismic behavior factor q for mixed steel-concrete lateral load resisting systems.
REI 90 to REI 120 fire compartmentalization between podium and upper steel levels.
From 3D Tekla BIM modeling to automated roll-forming, container packing, and on-site bolted erection.
3D Tekla-Revit clash detection between concrete anchor cast-ins and steel column bases.
Rigid steel anchor bolt positioning cages shipped to site ahead of concrete pouring.
Steel elements delivered just-in-time as the concrete podium reaches 28-day curing strength.
Upper steel floors erected in weeks without expensive formwork or long shoring periods.
Why civil engineers, architects, and international contractors specify this SerBuild technology.
Concrete podium for underground parking/retail with fast steel upper residential storeys.
Eliminates multi-level formwork, propping, and wet concrete curing cycles above podium level.
High lateral stiffness of the central core combined with low upper-floor seismic mass.
Supplied with rigid steel anchor templates guaranteeing millimeter-accurate column landing.
