Diagram of double tee beam. A double tee or double-T beam is a load-bearing structure that resembles two T-beams connected to each other side by side.

A double-T beam or double tee beam is a load-bearing structure that resemble two T-beams connected to each other. Double tees are manufactured from prestressed concrete using pretensioning beds of about 200-foot (61 m) to 500-foot (150 m) long. The strong bond of the flange (horizontal section) and the two webs (vertical members) creates a ...
Double tees are the most common products for short spans up to 60 feet (18 m) Hollow-core slabs are used when there is a need for flushed ceiling. T-beams are similar to double tees but can be used for span ranging from 30 feet (9.1 m) to 100 feet (30 m). Joists and planks are combination of using prestressed joists with prestressed planks.
Prestressing is a technique of introducing stresses into a structural member during fabrication and/or construction to improve its strength and performance. This technique is often employed in concrete beams, columns, spandrels, single and double tees, wall panels, segmental bridge units, bulb-tee girders, I-beam girders, and others.
