Hidden Beam

A "hidden beam" is a type of beam embedded within floor slabs, shear walls, or other structural components in architectural structures, blending seamlessly with the surrounding elements without visible exposure. Its primary purpose is to enhance the mechanical performance of the structure while maintaining spatial layout and aesthetics.

product introduction

Function:

Enhancing Structural Integrity：

Hidden beams are integrated with floor slabs or shear walls, using their rigidity and strength to evenly distribute loads from the slabs or walls to supporting elements such as columns or walls. This reduces localized stress concentration, prevents cracking or deformation, and improves the overall integrity and stability of the structure.

Improving Seismic Performance：
Under dynamic loads like earthquakes, hidden beams constrain the displacement of floor slabs or walls, enhancing the structure’s lateral stiffness and energy-dissipation capacity. This mitigates structural damage caused by vibrations, making hidden beams widely used in high-rise buildings or seismic zones.

Supporting Concentrated Loads：
When significant concentrated loads (e.g., equipment foundations, areas around openings) exist on a floor slab, hidden beams act as additional load-bearing elements to disperse the loads over a larger area, avoiding localized damage to the slab. For example, a hidden beam installed around a floor opening effectively shares the stress around the aperture.

Adjusting Structural Stiffness：
By strategically placing hidden beams, engineers can adjust the stiffness distribution across different parts of the structure, optimizing its overall load-bearing performance. In regions with long floor spans, hidden beams enhance the slab’s bending resistance and reduce deflection.
