SpanCorr Beams carry the same load at far less weight, allowing engineers to span farther with fewer columns and builders to cut foundation cost, schedule, and carbon. Engineered alongside your EOR.
A conventional wide-flange beam has a flat web. The SpanCorr Beam replaces it with a corrugated, wave-shaped web. The corrugation resists shear buckling far more efficiently, so the web can be much thinner.
The flanges carry the bending; the corrugated web carries the shear. The result is the same strength at 30–50% less steel, designed per AISC 360-22 §F5 with web shear per EN 1993-1-5:2024 Cl. 13.
See the SpanCorr Beam →On a representative office-floor bay, a SpanCorr solution came in at 3.46 psf versus 5.30 psf for the optimized wide-flange design, about 35% lighter.
Engineers who know SpanCorr become a more valuable resource to their clients. It's a straightforward way to drive costs down on any project with structural steel. Our engineering section walks you through the technical guide, the Beam Selector, and a 1.0 PDH continuing education presentation.
Explore engineering resources →A lighter superstructure cuts foundation costs, reduces crane picks, and speeds erection. With no mill roll date dependencies, you control the schedule from award to closeout. It also makes a strong VE case you can bring to the owner at any stage of design.
Ask for a project comparison →SpanCorr Beams use simple shear connections, no more complex than standard wide-flange details. And when conventional material isn’t available due to market conditions, SpanCorr is a cost-effective VE option that keeps the project moving.
