  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 ... There are some calculation methods to determine whether the design and construction of the truss is safe. ...

  4. 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

  5. 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 .

  6. 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.

  7. Steel design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steel_design

    The depth of steel beams used in the construction of bridges is usually governed by the maximum moment, and the cross-section is then verified for shear strength near supports and lateral torsional buckling (by determining the distance between transverse members connecting adjacent beams).

  8. Underpinning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underpinning

    The beam and base method of underpinning is a more technically advanced adaptation of traditional mass concrete underpinning. A reinforced concrete beam is constructed below, above or in replacement of the existing footing. The beam then transfers the load of the building to mass concrete bases, which are constructed at designed strategic ...

  9. Bending - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bending

    The beam is initially straight with a cross section that is constant throughout the beam length. The beam has an axis of symmetry in the plane of bending. The proportions of the beam are such that it would fail by bending rather than by crushing, wrinkling or sideways buckling. Cross-sections of the beam remain plane during bending.
