  2. T-beam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-beam

    Unlike an I-beam, a T-beam lacks a bottom flange, which carries savings in terms of materials, but at the loss of resistance to tensile forces. [5] T- beam designs come in many sizes, lengths and widths to suit where they are to be used (eg highway bridge, underground parking garage) and how they have to resist the tension, compression and shear stresses associated with beam bending in their ...

  3. Double tee - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_tee

    Double tees are connected during the construction without topping with concrete to create the parking structure floor surface. [6] A benefit of pre-topped double tees is a higher quality concrete for more durable surface to reduce traffic wears. Factories can produce the topping with minimum concrete strength of 5,000 psi. In some areas, the ...

  4. Post (structural) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post_(structural)

    Ridge – A post extending from the ground or foundation to the ridge beam. Samson – similar to a prick post or puncheon. Puncheon: 1) A short, stout post may be identical to a prick post; 2) Puncheon may also mean a split log or heavy slab of timber with the face smoothed, used for flooring or construction.

  5. Post and lintel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post_and_lintel

    Post and lintel (also called prop and lintel, a trabeated system, or a trilithic system) is a building system where strong horizontal elements are held up by strong vertical elements with large spaces between them. This is usually used to hold up a roof, creating a largely open space beneath, for whatever use the building is designed.

  6. Expansion joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expansion_joint

    Control joints, or contraction joints, are sometimes confused with expansion joints, but have a different purpose and function. Concrete and asphalt have relatively weak tensile strength, and typically form random cracks as they age, shrink, and are exposed to environmental stresses (including stresses of thermal expansion and contraction).

  7. Bent (structural) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bent_(structural)

    Rather, bents are simply cross-sectional templates of structural members, i.e., rafters, joists, posts, pilings, etc., that repeat on parallel planes along the length of the structure. The term bent is not restricted to any particular material. Bents may be formed of wooden piles, timber framing, [2] steel framing, or even concrete. [3]

  8. Purlin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purlin

    Purlin plates are beams which support the mid-span of rafters and are supported by posts. By supporting the rafters they allow longer spans than the rafters alone could span, thus allowing a wider building. Purlin plates are very commonly found in large old barns in North America.

  9. Steel fence post - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steel_fence_post

    A steel fence post, also called (depending on design or country) a T-post, a Y-post, or variants on star post, is a type of fence post or picket. They are made of steel and are sometimes manufactured using durable rail steel. They can be used to support various types of wire or wire mesh. The end view of the post creates an obvious T, Y, or ...
