Should beams be supported in span?
In standard sizes, PFEIFER-Hybridbeams require no additional support. For atypical solutions, the manufacturer decides whether this is necessary. See also the answer to these question.

The PFEIFER-Hybridbeam composite beam is used in the structure as a flat primary beam with a high load-bearing capacity immediately able to carry a large initial loads already in the installation stage. An important condition for obtaining a full, very high load-bearing capacity of the floor slab in the final stage is the connection of […]
See answer to this question and the PFEIFER-Hybridbeam catalogue. The manufacturer has anticipated two types of supports for Hybridbeams – direct (on column’s corbel or column’s head) and indirect (on the steel knives sliding out of the beam or on the steel knives tightened to the beam’s webs). In individual cases, it is also possible […]
This solution is technically possible. It is necessary to make a concrete bearing in the wall with a width and thickness dependent on the shearing force, and rest the beam on this bearing.
We assume that the idea is to support one beam on another? Yes, this solution is technically possible and has been foreseen. The primary beam will already be equipped in the production plant with the appropriate side connector, and the secondary beam will be equipped with a matching front connector. The connectors will be screwed […]
In the case of an illustrative investment with a grid of 8.10 × 8.10m, additional beam support is not required for one-sided installation. The description of the installation technology is issued with the plans for the beam’s installation. General installation guidelines are presented in Annex No. 15.
PFEIFER-Hybridbeam is provided with the direct support (e.g. on the column’s corbel) or indirectly by additional, especially designed elements integrated with the Hybridbeams. The depth of the support is given in the working drawings and depends on the value of shearing forces.
The answer to this question is contained in Annex 7.

Emergency reinforcement (for continuing the ring beam) is provided by the structural designer of the building. It is made depending on how the beam is supported on the support. An example of the solution can be found in Annex 11. Admission of the use of the reinforcement connection system – Annex No. 3
