What is Slab, Beam, Column, and Construction?
Structural engineers make much consideration when turning structural design into reality. One of the important things to consider is the stability upon which the whole structure is dependent. Stability is a determining factor of how long the building will stay safe. Columns, slabs and beam play an important role in withstanding the weight of the building. The slab is an essential structural element designed to create important surfaces, including roofs, floors, and ceilings. It has a top and bottom portion with horizontal structural components. It is mainly used for providing support to the columns and beams. Beams Beams are defined as horizontal rods which help to carry loads of the building. The beams are made in such a way that helps to withstand the load of building ceilings, floors, and roofs. To support the combined weight of stacked walls and transfer the support load, larger and heavy beams are sometimes applied. As discussed below, beams are used to withstand the w
