minus-squareWoodScientist@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up14·2 years 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-up3·2 years 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-up10·2 years 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.
