The System
MTR® System for Horizontal Structures
The composite steel-concrete lattice beam system is designed for the full prefabrication of floor structures, offering a streamlined and efficient solution for construction projects
The innovative solution for advanced construction sites.
Horizontal Structures
MTR® A Beam
Self-supporting during deck assembly and casting, with steel bottom plate.
MTR® T Beam
Requires formwork and shoring during deck assembly and casting, without bottom plate and completely embedded in the cast-in-place concrete.
MTR® C Beam
Self-supporting during deck assembly and casting, with concrete bottom base.
Software
Our Structural Design Software
The MTR® beam construction system is supported by dedicated structural calculation software specifically developed to account for both the factory production process at every stage and compliance with the current Italian and European technical regulations.
Advantages
Why choose the MTR® System
A wide range of advantages is available to achieve the best results and satisfy any technical and economic requirements
Predictable and Reduced Time and Costs
The MTR® System is installed quickly and easily, reducing both construction time and costs for floor structures.
Sustainable Construction
The MTR® System has been developed to reduce the use of formwork and props, minimise concrete consumption and CO2 emissions and ensure compliance with CAM construction requirements through the use of 92% recycled steel.
Safety on site
The safety of construction sites is enhanced by a reduction in risks associated with high-level assembly and a decrease in labour requirements.
Seismic and Fire Resistance
The structure has been engineered to ensure high seismic and fire resistance without additional costs, optimising dimensional performance at the beam-to-column joint.
Architectural and Design Flexibility
Space optimisation is achieved through the use of slab-depth beams, reduced column sections and the possibility of longer spans.
Light Prefabrication
Lightweight steel elements are manufactured in the factory and can be easily installed directly onto the columns.
MTR® System
Construction Phases of the MTR® System
Foundation Construction
Foundations are constructed in accordance with standard reinforced concrete structural principles. Self-supporting MTR® beams help to minimise loads transferred to the foundations.
Vertical Structure Construction
Vertical structures (i.e. columns and shear walls) are constructed. The use of self-supporting MTR® beams has been shown to reduce the required cross-sections of vertical elements.
Horizontal Structure Construction
The horizontal structure is built using MTR® beams.
Simplicity and Speed of installation
The installation of MTR® beams is straightforward and efficient, with no requirement for specialised labour. Each supply is accompanied by detailed assembly drawings and every beam is clearly labelled with an identification tag that indicates its exact position.
Additional continuity reinforcement for beam-to-column joints, installed according to the assembly drawings, arrives on site packaged joint by joint and labelled with identification tags indicating precise placement.
