  2. Beam (structure) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beam_(structure)

    A thin walled beam is a very useful type of beam (structure). The cross section of thin walled beams is made up from thin panels connected among themselves to create closed or open cross sections of a beam (structure). Typical closed sections include round, square, and rectangular tubes. Open sections include I-beams, T-beams, L-beams, and so on.

  3. Section beam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_beam

    Section Beams are made of steel and they have a specific lengths and shapes like Ɪ-beam, 'L', C-channel and I flanged beam. These types of section are usually used in steel structures and it is common to connect them with plates of steel.

  4. Timber framing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timber_framing

    An alternate construction method is with concrete flooring with extensive use of glass. This allows a solid construction combined with open architecture. Some firms have specialized in industrial prefabrication of such residential and light commercial structures such as Huf Haus as low-energy houses or – dependent on location – zero-energy ...

  5. Hewing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewing

    After a tree is selected and felled, hewing can take place where the log landed or be skidded or twitched (skidded with a horse or oxen) out of the woods to a work site. . The log is placed across two other smaller logs near the ground or up on trestles about waist height; stabilized either by notching the support logs, or using a 'timber dog' (also called a log dog, [4] a long bar of iron ...

  6. I-beam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I-beam

    A typical cross-section of I-beams. There are two standard I-beam forms: Rolled I-beam, formed by hot rolling, cold rolling or extrusion, depending on the material. Plate girder, formed by welding (or occasionally bolting or riveting) plates. I-beams are commonly made of structural steel but may also be formed from aluminium or other

  7. T-beam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-beam

    A T-beam (or tee beam), used in construction, is a load-bearing structure of reinforced concrete, wood or metal, with a capital 'T'-shaped cross section. The top of the T-shaped cross section serves as a flange or compression member in resisting compressive stresses .

  8. Section modulus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_modulus

    In solid mechanics and structural engineering, section modulus is a geometric property of a given cross-section used in the design of beams or flexural members.Other geometric properties used in design include: area for tension and shear, radius of gyration for compression, and second moment of area and polar second moment of area for stiffness.

  9. Structural steel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_steel

    Various structural steel shapes. Structural steel is a category of steel used for making construction materials in a variety of shapes. Many structural steel shapes take the form of an elongated beam having a profile of a specific cross section.
