középfügg

középfügg is a Hungarian term that literally translates to "middle hanging" or "middle dependency." It is a concept primarily used in the context of architecture and structural engineering, referring to a supporting element that is suspended or attached to a higher structural member and, in turn, supports a lower structural member. This creates a tiered or intermediate support system.

In practice, középfügg elements are employed to distribute loads effectively and to bridge vertical distances where direct support from the ground or a primary beam is not feasible or desirable. Examples include a beam hanging from a larger truss, which then supports smaller joists. Another instance could be a suspended ceiling system where intermediate hangers connect the ceiling grid to the main structural slab above. The design and placement of középfügg are crucial for the overall stability and load-bearing capacity of a structure. They are essential in complex construction projects, ensuring that forces are transferred safely and efficiently through the building's framework.
