A Beam is defined as a member of a structural design that carries all vertical resist loads applied laterally to the beam‘s axis. This beam can be from different types of materials like steel, timber, aluminum etc. The most common beam material is reinforced cement concrete (RCC Beam).
What is Dead Load? An In-Depth Explanation In engineering terms, the dead load represents the permanent load a structure must bear due to its own weight and any permanently fixed elements such as walls, floors, beams, roofs, and mechanical systems. These loads are considered “dead” because they do not change over time and remain constant […]
What is Light Gauge Steel Framing? Light gauge steel framing (LGSF) is a modern construction method that uses thin, cold-formed sheets of steel to create structural frameworks. This technique, which involves bending steel into shapes without heat, offers a lightweight yet durable solution for constructing residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. Light gauge steel framing is […]
Foundation Footing Repair Guide Foundation footing repair is a critical process that restores the stability and integrity of a building’s foundation by addressing issues with the footings. Footings are essential structural elements that distribute the load of a building evenly across the ground, preventing excessive settlement or shifting. Without a stable footing, the entire structure […]
