    BEAM

    structural elements used in


    buildings, and they resist
    loads applied laterally to
    their axis
    TYPES OF BEAM
    01 UNIVERSAL BEAM 08 STEEL BEAM

    02 HIP BEAM 09 TIMBER BEAM

    03 TRUSSED BEAM 10 STRAIGHT BEAM

    04 LATTICE BEAM 11 CURVED BEAM

    05 COMPOSITE BEAM 12 BEAM BRIDGE

    06 CHILLED BEAM 13 TIE BEAM

    07 REINFORCED CONCRETE BEAM


    14 CANTILEVER BEAM
    UNIVERSAL BEAM
    -commonly refer as an I-beam
    -most frequently used beams in steel structures
    -horizontal elements of this beam are known as flanges,
    whereas the vertical element is the we
    -web resists shear forces, and the flanges resist bending
    moments
    -have a high moment of inertia
    -use universal beams when making critical support
    trusses or main building frameworks
    -ensure a structure has adequate structural integrity
    UNIVERSAL BEAM
    HIP BEAM
    -use a hip beam in the design
    of most roofing designs
    -support other load-bearing
    beams that are separated at
    proportioned angles
    HIP BEAM
    TRUSS BEAM
    -stiffened beam by a system
    of braces to form a truss and
    a bottom chord
    -used when there is a lot of
    weight to be supported
    across vast spaces
    -provide reasonable
    economical solutions for
    buildings with spans over 25
    meters
    LATTICE BEAM
    -girder whereby the web has
    diagonal pieces arranged in a
    lattice-like manner
    -top chord acts in
    compression, bottom chord
    works in tension
    -desirable due to their
    lightweight
    COMPOSITE BEAM
    -made from combining two or
    more construction materials
    -more robust than beams made
    from their constituent parts
    -steel and concrete are most
    common type
    -joining two materials combines
    their physical strength and
    enhances physical
    characteristics
    CHILLED BEAM
    -heating and cooling systems
    that are used for large buildings
    -have heat exchangers attached
    to ceilings, and they have a
    series of pipes
    -cost-effective and easy to
    maintain
    -do not create noise and do not
    require a lot of space for
    maintenance
    REINFORCED CONCRETE BEAM
    -composite material made from
    concrete and steel bars
    -steel bars are added to
    increase the relatively low
    ductility and tensile strength of
    concrete
    -most widely used beams in
    construction
    -advantageous as it can take
    high compressive stresses
    STEEL BEAM
    -made from steel, and they support heavy loads
    -specifications depend on their shapes and sizes
    -classified depending on their cross-sections into I-beams,
    T-beams, channels, and broad flange sections
    -can be straight or curved
    -can withstand high tensile stresses, therefore providing
    increased structural integrity
    -resistant to fire and corrosion
    -mainly use steel beams in making warehouses, house
    frames, and roofing structures
    STEEL BEAM
    TIMBER BEAM
    -horizontal structural supports
    made from wood
    -standard in wooden frame
    structures like residential houses
    -can be made either from sawn
    lumber or engineered wood products
    -faster to erect
    -prone to rotting and infestation
    -prone to fire
    STRAIGHT BEAM
    -linear profile on their horizontal
    length
    -supported on their ends and can
    resist bending moments and shear
    forces
    -relatively easy to construct
    STRAIGHT BEAM
    CURVED BEAM
    -have a curved profile on their
    horizontal axes
    -supported on their ends and can
    resist bending moments, shear
    forces, and torsional forces
    -common in the construction of
    circular buildings and arches
    -provide pre-camber for structures
    such as bridges
    BEAM BRIDGE
    -simplest types of bridges to
    construct
    -consist of bridge spans supported
    by piers or abutments on each end
    -simplest beam bridge type would be
    a wooden log or plank placed across
    a stream
    -modern beam bridges can be in the
    form of plate girders or box girders
    TIE BEAM
    -horizontal beams that connect
    columns, rafters, or trusses
    -use tie beams in roofs, cannot carry
    heavy vertical loads such as walls
    -act as strap beams to remove the
    eccentricity of columns in foundation
    footings
    -prevent highly stressed columns
    from buckling outwards
    CANTILEVER BEAM
    -rigid horizontal beam supported
    only on one end
    -can be in the form of a typical
    beam, slab, or truss
    -use these beams in towers, bridges,
    and buildings over spans that need
    to allow for an overhang
    -heavily rely on torque and rotational
    equilibrium for stability
