Supplementary Girder – support for the main load-bearing structures

Where are supplementary girders used?

Supplementary girders are widely used in construction, especially in:

• Roof structures – support the installation of roof coverings and prevent them from sagging.
• Ceilings – increase the load-bearing capacity and safety of building users.
• Industrial halls – they enable larger structural spans without excessively loading the main girders.

Advantages of using supplementary girders

• Structural reinforcement: Prevent deformation and excessive loads.
• Design flexibility: Allows for more complex architectural solutions.
• Efficient load distribution: Distributes weight evenly throughout the structure.
• Material savings: Enable the use of lighter and cheaper materials in major structural elements.

Types of supplementary girders

Depending on the design requirements, different types of supplementary girders are available:

• Steel girders: Very strong, used in heavy structures.
• Wooden girders: Popular in single-family and recreational construction.
• Reinforced concrete girders: Ideal for large commercial buildings, bridges and viaducts.

Summary

Supplementary girders are an indispensable element in any structure requiring the support of additional load-bearing elements. Choosing the right type of girder allows you to optimize the safety, durability and efficiency of the construction.
