A beam that supports other beams; a very large beam, especially one that is built up from smaller elements; a timber beam used to support wall beams or joists.
A large beam made of iron or steel.
Girders are heavy beams which support the floor joists and other framing members.
A lateral support beam the floor joist rests on.
Any member which supports a load. Also called a beam. Sometimes used with the term, post.
A beam or compound structure acting as a beam carrying principally transverse loads which develop normal reactions at the supports.
A beam of steel or wood used to support not only the roof but the entire wall section in transit, locating in the ceiling module line of a unit. This member may be supported by posts or columns if necessary.
A thin rope, running from the top planks to the cross beam, used for lashing down top planks.
In deck construction, a deck girder is a board or a composite of more than one board that serves as a supporting beam for the deck joists, that meet it perpendicularly. When building a deck that will be adjacent to a house, joists are often attached at the house end using a header board. The joists will be hung from the header board using joist hangers, keeping the tops of the joists at the same level as the header board. At the opposite end, support is provided by the deck girder. Rather than being hung from the deck girder, the joists commonly rest on top of this beam. The deck girder, in turn, rests on posts for support. When building a deck that will not be adjacent to a house, there will be a deck girder at both ends of the deck for support. Also Known As: beam.
a beam made usually of steel; a main support in a structure
a board or boards that provide structural support for deck joists
a horizontal main structural member to a bridge that supports vertical loads
a larger beam, especially when made of multiple metal plates
A large beam of steel or wood that supports the center of the floor for the length of the house.
Beam which supports concentrated loads, such as a girder supporting floor joist or trusses.
A horizontal beam supporting the floor joists.
A main beam upon which floor joists rest. Used to support concentrated loads at isolated points along its length, usually made of steel or wood.
A metal beam supporting structure
a long strong steel beam of H section used for keelson and framework where considerable strength is required; generally run in the fore and aft direction under a deck to support deck beams and deck; the girder, in turn, is supported by widely spaced pillars
A beam of wood or steel used as the principal support of concentrated loads at points along its span.
Horizontal beams used to support joists or flooring. Wooden girders are normally at least 4x4 beams. Metal girders are often I-beams.
A main horizontal structural member that supports vertical loads.
The principal horizontal beams of the crane bridge, which support the trolley and are supported by the end trucks.
A steel or wooden beam supporting the hull structure.
The main beam upon which floor joists rest.
A strong, wooden member spanning foundation walls designed to support joist ends.
Steel, wood, or reinforced concrete beam used as a main horizontal support in a building or bridge. pp. 76,77, 78, 81, 82
A primary horizontal support for wood floor beams. In homes, girders are usually steel I-beams, solid timbers or wood laminates.
A beam used to support other beams, joists, and partitions. Back to the Top
a large beam, usually created by bolting or welding together steel plates
Beam, especially a long, heavy one; the main beam supporting floor joists or other smaller beams.
A main supporting beam of the house.
The main beam in a framed floor support that carries the weight of the floor or partition.
A main support member for the structure that usually receives loads from floor beams and stringers; also, any large beam, especially if built up.
A horizontal structural member that supports joists.
A main member in a framed floor supporting the joists which carry the flooring boards. It carries the weight of a floor or partition.
Cross beam that supports the floor joists.
A large or main load bearing beam (wood or steel) used to support large loads.
A larger beam used to support other beams, joists, or partitions.
horizontal structural member that supports wall; floor joist between piers or columns; beam.
Crossbeam, which supports floor joists. Made of steel, reinforced concrete, or timber, it is designed to support loads at different points along its length. Main structural support beam.
A girder is a large support beam used in construction, normally of iron or steel. Girders often have an I beam cross section for strength, but may also have a box shape, Z shape or other forms. Girder is the term used to denote the main horizontal support of a structure and usually supports smaller beams.
