Vázszerkezetes

Vázszerkezetes refers to a structural system where a framework, or skeleton, is the primary load-bearing element of a building. This framework is typically composed of interconnected beams and columns, which are often made from materials like steel, reinforced concrete, or timber. These structural members transfer the building's loads, such as weight from floors, walls, and occupants, down to the foundation.

This approach allows for greater design flexibility compared to traditional load-bearing wall systems. With a vázszerkezetes system, walls can be non-load-bearing partitions, meaning they can be placed more freely within the building's footprint. This enables open floor plans, larger window openings, and the creation of more adaptable interior spaces. The fabrication of the framework can often be done off-site, leading to faster on-site construction times.

The choice of material for the vázszerkezetes influences its properties, such as strength, fire resistance, and cost. Steel frames offer high strength and ductility, while reinforced concrete provides good fire resistance and can be molded into complex shapes. Timber frames are a more sustainable option and are suitable for smaller to medium-sized structures. Careful engineering and design are essential to ensure the stability and safety of any vázszerkezetes building.
