DESCRIPTION OF THE SYSTEM
Deltabeam is a composite beam designed for slim-fl oor multi-story constructions. The beam is
completely concreted after installation on site to create the composite action between concrete
and steel. The composite action enhances the capacity of the beam signifi cantly and enables long
clear spans with a shallow fl oor depth. Deltabeams can be used with either hollow core slabs,
fi ligree slabs, or with cast-in-place concrete slabs.
Sustainable
Moreover, a slim-fl oor system will reduce the carbon footprint of the building by using less material,
and by reducing the quantity of energy required for the entire life cycle of the building.
Fireproof
Due to its longitudinal reinforcement and concrete fi lling, the Deltabeam can be designed with
an integrated fi re rating as high as 3 hours without additional fi re proofi ng material applied on the
exposed steel surface.
Cost-Effective
Shallow fl oor structures will optimize the vertical space of the building, reduce confl icts with
mechanical systems and lead to savings related to construction and maintenance. This is achieved
through important material reductions as well as building volume and mass reduction.
