NPS® Truss Beam
NPS® Truss are steel trusses for a steel-concrete composite solution. When used with prestressed slabs, they do not require additional formwork. They provide integrated fire resistance.
Advantages
- The beam is designed with integrated fire-resistance up to the level required by the customer, thanks to additional reinforcement inside its section
- Ideal with precast slabs, without the need for additional formwork
- Speed of construction
- Slim sections
- Lightweight solution
- Certified product
- Design and technical support from Tecnostrutture technicians
Areas of application
NPS® Truss beams provide high fire resistance and fire protection characteristics.
Common application areas include:
- Culture and education
- Residential
- Structural aesthetics

Sustainability
Assembly
An NPS® Truss is easily assembled after positioning the precast slab, resting directly on the concrete slab. It is a light and versatile structure that allows for a concealed solution within the slab, optimising space and simplifying assembly operations.
References
For decades, NPS® Truss beams have been successfully used in numerous projects, from residential buildings to schools, from car parks to infrastructure.
The reason? Structures with integrated fire and earthquake resistance, speed and high construction flexibility. In addition, the general designer can count on Tecnostrutture’s engineering support for more efficient and simpler construction.
