minus-squarewander1236@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up0·26 days ago A girder (/ˈɡɜːrdər/) is a beam used in construction.
minus-squareWoodScientist@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·26 days agoSpecifically a girder is a beam that other beams frame into. Gravity load typically goes slab->beam->girder->columns->foundation. At least that’s what I teach in my steel design classes.
minus-squareSadbutdru@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·26 days agoAre there any girders in the picture then? Or none, or impossible to tell? I can’t see any, by that definition.
minus-squareWoodScientist@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·26 days agoYou can see them on the upper levels. On the bottom level, you can see the shear tabs, mounted on the girders that additional beams will frame into.
