At the time of its development the system was considered experimental and very innovative, with a carrying Staggered Truss System (S.T.S) steel structure, of modular light-weight prefabricated floor slabs, dry wall plaster partitions, a prefabricated apartment sanitary installation units and a very elaborate system of thermal-acoustic insulation, fire protection and waterproof sealing solutions. The steel S.T.S structure, Virandel shaped truss components, shop built and storey high, spanning the entire building&#8217;s width, were supported on external continuous steel columns of rectangular R.H.S profiles.<br \/>\nThe staggered truss arrangement could provide for an average double span of the utilized light concrete floor slabs, up to 240 sqm of column free floor areas.<br \/>\nThe initial development stages were sponsored by the Israeli Ministry of Housing and were later carried into a prototype building stage, resulting with the 20 storey high, 640sqm for every floor level, 145 apartment&#8217;s housing project, to be constructed in Izraeliah-Haifa (1974-76). Rising above the ground, from the third floor and up, the system lived to its promise and reached the impressive erection rate of 3 floors per month (with everything included).<br \/>\nThe Beta System received a wide public and professional coverage, including an article in the American Newsweek Magazine (under &#8216;New Products and Processes&#8217;-1975).<\/p>\n<div id=\"jig1\" class=\"justified-image-grid jig-cbf98ebf9368f4c9510940651c971bf1 jig-preset-global\"><div class=\"jig-clearfix\"><\/div><noscript id=\"jig1-html\" class=\"justified-image-grid-html\" data-lazy-src=\"skiplazyload\" data-src=\"skipunveillazyload\"><ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.professormichaelburt.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/017C-3-b5-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.professormichaelburt.com\/new\/wp-content\/plugins\/justified-image-grid\/timthumb.php?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.professormichaelburt.com%2Fnew%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2021%2F10%2F017C-3-b5-1.jpg&amp;h=230&amp;q=90&amp;f=.jpg\" alt=\"017C-3-b(5)\" width=\"328\" height=\"230\" \/><\/a><p class=\"jig-HTMLdescription\">017C-3-b(5)<br\/><\/p><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.professormichaelburt.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/010C-3-a1-1-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.professormichaelburt.com\/new\/wp-content\/plugins\/justified-image-grid\/timthumb.php?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.professormichaelburt.com%2Fnew%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2021%2F10%2F010C-3-a1-1-1.jpg&amp;h=230&amp;q=90&amp;f=.jpg\" alt=\"010C-3-a(1)\" width=\"326\" height=\"230\" \/><\/a><p class=\"jig-HTMLdescription\">010C-3-a(1)<br\/><\/p><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.professormichaelburt.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/011C-3-a2-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.professormichaelburt.com\/new\/wp-content\/plugins\/justified-image-grid\/timthumb.php?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.professormichaelburt.com%2Fnew%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2021%2F10%2F011C-3-a2-1.jpg&amp;h=230&amp;q=90&amp;f=.jpg\" alt=\"011C-3-a(2)\" width=\"335\" height=\"230\" \/><\/a><p class=\"jig-HTMLdescription\">011C-3-a(2)<br\/><\/p><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.professormichaelburt.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/012C-3-a3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.professormichaelburt.com\/new\/wp-content\/plugins\/justified-image-grid\/timthumb.php?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.professormichaelburt.com%2Fnew%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2021%2F10%2F012C-3-a3.jpg&amp;h=230&amp;q=90&amp;f=.jpg\" alt=\"012C-3-a(3)\" width=\"124\" height=\"230\" \/><\/a><p class=\"jig-HTMLdescription\">012C-3-a(3)<br\/><\/p><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.professormichaelburt.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/013C-3-b1-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.professormichaelburt.com\/new\/wp-content\/plugins\/justified-image-grid\/timthumb.php?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.professormichaelburt.com%2Fnew%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2021%2F10%2F013C-3-b1-1.jpg&amp;h=230&amp;q=90&amp;f=.jpg\" alt=\"013C-3-b(1)\" width=\"328\" height=\"230\" \/><\/a><p class=\"jig-HTMLdescription\">013C-3-b(1)<br\/><\/p><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.professormichaelburt.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/014C-3-b2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.professormichaelburt.com\/new\/wp-content\/plugins\/justified-image-grid\/timthumb.php?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.professormichaelburt.com%2Fnew%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2021%2F10%2F014C-3-b2.jpg&amp;h=230&amp;q=90&amp;f=.jpg\" alt=\"014C-3-b(2)\" width=\"320\" height=\"230\" \/><\/a><p class=\"jig-HTMLdescription\">014C-3-b(2)<br\/><\/p><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.professormichaelburt.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/015C-3-b3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.professormichaelburt.com\/new\/wp-content\/plugins\/justified-image-grid\/timthumb.php?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.professormichaelburt.com%2Fnew%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2021%2F10%2F015C-3-b3.jpg&amp;h=230&amp;q=90&amp;f=.jpg\" alt=\"015C-3-b(3)\" width=\"327\" height=\"230\" \/><\/a><p class=\"jig-HTMLdescription\">015C-3-b(3)<br\/><\/p><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.professormichaelburt.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/016C-3-b4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.professormichaelburt.com\/new\/wp-content\/plugins\/justified-image-grid\/timthumb.php?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.professormichaelburt.com%2Fnew%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2021%2F10%2F016C-3-b4.jpg&amp;h=230&amp;q=90&amp;f=.jpg\" alt=\"016C-3-b(4)\" width=\"165\" height=\"230\" \/><\/a><p class=\"jig-HTMLdescription\">016C-3-b(4)<br\/><\/p><\/li><\/ul><\/noscript><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BETA &#8211; INDUSTRIALIZED SYSTEM (Burt, Even Or, Tene 1972-76).
