OPTIMAL DEVELOPMENT AND APPLICATION OF LIGHTENED / WEB-PERFORATED BEAMS

Significant material and financial savings could be achieved by utilisation the intellectual product named above. The application is offering a full consultancy design service with the invention (which obtained European Patent before) and associated design software together with the author/inventor’s knowledge and experience in architectural, structural design.

On major projects the author can consult with the clients, architects and structural engineers, and if required with the manufacturer as an advisory engineer consultant. Above all he would present his proposals widely looked after their endeavours.

The evolution of the lightened / web-perforated beams begun with the hollowed beams followed by the Litzka honey-beams (Wabenträger) and the honeycombed Cellbeams produced by the British company called Westok. The author developed the Variable Web-perforated Optimal Beams as per the invention supported by the design software. The beams can be fabricated using CAD/CAM supported flame- or plasma-cutting.
