2. Flitch beam - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flitch_beam

   A flitch beam (or flitched beam) is a compound beam used in the construction of houses, decks, and other primarily wood-frame structures.

In that common form it is sometimes referenced as a steel ...

3. Lumber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lumber

   They function as beams to provide support over large spans, such as removed support walls and garage door openings, places where dimensional lumber is insufficient, and also in areas where a heavy load is bearing from a floor, wall or roof above on a somewhat short span where dimensional lumber is impractical.

4. Orthotropic deck - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthotropic_deck

   This allows the fabricated deck both to directly bear vehicular loads and to contribute to the bridge structure's overall load-bearing behaviour. The orthotropic deck may be integral with or supported on a grid of deck framing members, such as transverse floor beams and longitudinal girders. All these various choices for the stiffening elements ...

5. Girder bridge - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Girder_bridge

   The term "girder" is typically used to refer to a steel beam. In a beam or girder bridge, the beams themselves are the primary support for the deck, and are responsible for transferring the load down to the foundation. Material type, shape, and weight all affect how much weight a beam can hold.

9. Beam (structure) - Wikipedia

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

   A beam is a structural element that primarily resists loads applied laterally across the beam's axis (an element designed to carry a load pushing parallel to its axis would be a strut or column). Its mode of deflection is primarily by bending , as loads produce reaction forces at the beam's support points and internal bending moments , shear ...
