What is a Beam? Beam Definition: What is a Beam? A beam, in Structural Engineering terms, is a member that can be comprised of a number of materials (including steel, wood aluminum) to withstand loads – typically applied laterally to the beam axis. Beams can also be referred to members, elements, rafters, shafts or purling. An example of a  Simply Supported Beam  with a Distributed Load Source:  SkyCiv Beam A beam can exist within a frame, a truss or on its own as its own structure. SkyCiv also has some write ups of each of the different types of beams, including  cantilever beam , or  continuous beam . A 3D Rendering of an I-Beam Source:  SkyCiv Beam Beam Shapes Beams can come in a wide range of shapes that have different applications and strength purposes. Some common shapes are i beams (as shown in the 3D renderer above), T-beams, channel sections, rectangular, hollow rectangular and pipes. Regardless of the shape, they are all considered beams.

  Basic Components Of A Building 1- SUB-STRUCTURE It is the Basic Components Of A Building You Should Know of a building situated underneath the surrounding ground. 2- SUPERSTRUCTURE The portion which is situated above the ground level is called superstructure. The components of a building can be further classified as under 1- FOUNDATION Foundation is the lowest part of a structure below the ground level which transfers all the loads (dead load, live load etc) to the soil. 2- PLINTH The Portion of a building between the ground surrounding the building and the top floor just above the ground is termed as plinth. Plinth is provided to prevent the surface water from entering the building. building. 3- DPC DPC or damp proof course is a layer of waterproofing materials like asphalt, bitumen, waterproof cement etc on which the walls are constructed. 4- WALLS Walls are the vertical members on which the roof finally rests. Walls are provided to divide the floor space in the desired pattern...
