Applications of Concrete Framing Systems

A concrete frame is a structure formed by the interconnection of beams and columns to form a structural network. In simple terms, it is the basic skeletal structure of a building or any construction. The concrete framing structure is built on a concrete foundation that forms the base of the entire structure. The concrete frame system is built to support floors, roofs, walls, beams, rafters, joists, etc.
