SUSTAINAIBILITY

This image shows shows the Column And Beam Framing Connections. To make sure the buildings are structurally sound and has enough capacity to withstand heavy loads. The beams, columns, and walls are joined to the concrete slabs, and all structural sections are suitably connected to their supporting members, to ensure that the structures are structurally sound and capable of withstanding enormous loads. Concrete beams are used, which will carry structure load on itself vertically and it will withstand load by resisting bending.
