Laced Steel Concrete Composite (LSCC) System

LSSC is an engineering system with enormous potential, direct use for structures resisting suddenly applied dynamic loads where high rotational capacity of the structural component is required, spin-off for use in other structures.

LSCC has enormous potential for direct use in structures, imparting resistance against suddenly applied dynamic loads and also spin-off for other similar structures.

This product is promising in construction of blast resistant explosive storage structures like chemical industry, fire works industry, etc.

• High ductility and rotational capacity
• Effective use of minimum material
• Concrete made fully effective under compression even after cracking
• Rapid installation
• Part of the system can be prefabricated in factory. Therefore, better quality control.
• Performance Comparison
  • LSSC beams are capable of undergoing large support rotation, nearly twice in comparison with other steel-concrete composite beams
  • Post-peak response indicate load drop of maximum 15% only for either monotonic or cyclic reversal load
  • LSCC beams possess 3x cyclic ductility factors as compared to laced reinforced concrete beams
  • For a given capacity, LSCC beams require same amount of material but offers superior performance
