A stub-girder system (or stub girder system) is a model of steel frame structures consisting of beams and decking, originally developed in the early 1970s in part by Joseph Colaco of Ellisor Engineers Inc..[1][2]

Short lengths of stub girders the same depth as the floor beams are welded to the tops of the main girders to provide a connection to the slab.
