EDIL T.T. - Tile-Beam Connection

It is a ‘ductile’ system, designed for connecting roof tiles to edge beams. Its use prevents the roof from losing its support from the beam without altering the existing static structure.
It essentially consists of steel tubes that are suitably assembled and shaped at the ends, where holes are made for fastenings.
The system has been designed so that, in the event of an earthquake, (large) relative translations between the elements are allowed.

The use of the Edil T.T. system also limits the actions transmitted to the structures through the plasticisation of the external curved elements.

The inclination of the ends can be varied according to the geometry of the elements to be connected.
