The plan for this large modern farmhouse has a lot of interesting roof angles, gables, dormers, and architectural details that were difficult to see on the front elevation. The rendering created by our designers at brick&batten also allowed our clients to imagine their new open indoor-outdoor living space. These options are hard to visualize on the entry elevation sketch, but are much clearer with the help of our rendering. This Cape-style home has unique features: the three symmetrical front doors, cupola, and steeply pitched roof. Front elevation drawings usually show dimensions, front doors, windows, and any architectural features such as gables, rooflines, and porches. As such, you cannot see angles as you might in a 2D rendering. The view is dead-on and flat, as if you were standing on the same plane. The front elevation or ‘entry elevation’ shows only the front façade of the home from the street. The scope of this article covers composite beams, composite slabs, composite columns and composite connections.What is a normal house front elevation design? The floor depth reductions that can be achieved using composite construction can also provide significant benefits in terms of the costs of services and the building envelope. Composite systems also offer benefits in terms of speed of construction. The reduced self weight of composite elements has a knock-on effect by reducing the forces in those elements supporting them, including the foundations. By joining the two materials together structurally these strengths can be exploited to result in a highly efficient and lightweight design. The reason why composite construction is often so good can be expressed in one simple way - concrete is good in compression and steel is good in tension.

Its success is due to the strength and stiffness that can be achieved, with minimum use of materials. This has been the case for over twenty years. Composite Steel Structure construction dominates the non-residential multi-storey building sector.
