New steel framing system promises major savings in high-rise apartments
New concept in steel framing for high-rise apartment buildings, which uses half as much steel as conventional rigid frame and 60% as much as braced frame, without restricting planning flexibility was developed by architectural and engineering team at M.I.T.; solution is obtained by series of story-high trusses spanning width of building, laid out in staggered pattern so that while trusses on each floor are 24 ft apart, floors still span only 12 ft; floor rests on top chord of one truss and hangs from bottom chord of truss 12 ft away on floor above; trusses on any one floor are 24 ft apart.
