Integrated Steel Floor Joist

Hybrid Steel Framing, Inc. is offering this advanced composite structural commercial floor system that combines the durability of concrete and the non-combustibility of steel.  This is the integration of cold-formed steel floor joist with fiberglass-reinforced cement panels that allows commercial contractors to build structures faster and more economically than is feasible with other construction products and methods.       

The composite floor assembly combines the high-strength-to-weight ratio and superior tensile strength of steel with the compression strenght of concrete.

This structural floor assembly is unlike anything else available to the building industry.

The Key Benefits:

• Structural integrity
  • High-strength-to-weight ratio
  • Superior tensile and compression strength

• Non-combustible design assembly
  • Approved for all types of non-combustible construction
  • One hour and two hour fire rated floor assemblies available
  • Will help lower builder risk insurance

• UL approved

• Acoustical performance
  • High STC and IIC sound performance ratings can be achieved

• Dimensional stability

• Resistance to rot-mold and insects

• Light weight
  • Significantly reduces the dead weight of the structure
  • Less weight means a reduction in seismic loads and worker fatigue
  • Since the concrete panel and the steel floor joist system is lighter than poured concrete, it can reduce the impact on floor structure members when compared with other concrete-based systems.
  • Its lighter dead load is advantageous to the thickness and size of the structure supporting the floor, as well as to the sizing of the foundation.
  • Poured floors and concrete planks add significant weight to a building.  This additional weight affects the overall height of the building, increases material cost for structural reinforcement and can potentially reduce the building's stability in the event of an earthquake or other severe weather events.
