Types of Structural Support Beams

There is a wide variety of different types of support beams used in the infrastructure of industrial buildings and are used for different structural purposes.

Exploring Different Types of Structural Support Beams

In the industrial sector, structural support beams are the backbone of infrastructure in industrial buildings. These beams are typically crafted from wood, steel, or concrete and serve various essential functions. Let's delve into the diverse types of structural support beams you'll encounter:

1. Cantilever Beams

  • This beam is anchored at one end while the other end remains unattached and free-hanging.

2. Fixed Beams

  • Anchored at both ends, fixed beams do not rotate or move at the fulcrum.

3. Fixed-Pin Beams

  • Like fixed beams, these are anchored at both ends, but one end features a pinned anchor.

4. Continuous Beams

  • Extending beyond two or more supports, continuous beams offer extended structural support.

5. I-Beams

  • I-Beams, constructed from steel, feature a cross-sectional shape resembling the letter "I."

The Truth Behind Compliant Composite Repairs: Matching Standards to Real-World Defects

Ensure the safety and durability of your assets by following essential repair standards for composite repairs, like ASME PCC-2, especially for high-pressure, high-temperature environments. However, matching repair designs precisely to defects is critical, as one-size-fits-all approaches may lead to failures. Avoid costly rework by providing engineers with detailed defect information to tailor repairs effectively. Learn more about aligning standards with real-world applications to enhance repair success.
