AI Technical Summary
Metal beams cannot be integrally molded with composite beams, which makes it difficult to assemble the web support of the beam. In addition, the forming tolerance of composite beams is large, the channel opening shrinks severely, and it is difficult to match the integral web support of the beam with the upper and lower edge strips of the composite beam.
The beam web support is divided into upper and lower parts. The upper and lower connecting corner boxes are used to connect to the upper and lower edge strips and ribs of the beam, respectively. The connection is made by rounding the corners to ensure the vertical connection between the beam web and the ribs.
This reduces the difficulty of fitting the rib support to the composite beam, ensures the fit between the rib and the composite beam, and simplifies the assembly process.
