About this event

The Girder-Slab® System (GSS), structural solution for buildings, was developed a few decades ago as a simplified and cost-efficient floor plate alternative to conventional methods of construction. The premise of its genesis was to supplant alternate forms that were too labor dependent, costly, and subject to multiple inhibiting factors that prolonged efficient structural installation and overall building progress.

Girder-Slab Technologies, LLC, has successfully developed the GSS, a unique dissymmetric steel beam integrated compositely with pre-cast, hollow-core planks, through testing and analysis and shares the method of design with the North American engineering community for application on primarily multi-family, multi-story residential and hospitality projects, albeit this method of construction is expanding to other building sectors.

Join Connor Conzelman, ClearCalcs’ Director of Customer Success, on Wednesday, October 11th, from 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm Eastern Time (ET) as he engages in a conversation with Peter Timler, M.Sc., P.Eng., P.E., S.E., Girder-Slab Technologies’ Chief Technical Officer.

The GSS has been applied to many hundreds of projects across the continent and now is being utilized for developments overseas. Because it is such a simplified and lighter method of floor framing installation, numerous other benefits result that expand on return on investment for building owners.

This webinar provides a unique opportunity to obtain an understanding of this innovative structural solution including demonstration of the Design Tool V3.4.

In this webinar, we will cover:

  • Introduction to Girder-Slab Technologies, LLC;
  • Fundamentals of the GSS
  • General responses to frequently asked questions;
    • Composite Action;
    • Efficient Framing Layouts;
    • Opportunity to Increase Spans;
    • Fire Protection Methods; and
    • Sound Transmission, to name a few.
  • Design Example Layout for GSS; and
  • Sample Demonstration of Design Tool V3.4 (US LRFD (Imperial)).

All registered attendees will receive a recording of the webinar after the event.
