- Roof beam classification
- 1. Wooden beams: They mainly exist in ancient buildings and tile houses or bungalows in the countryside in the 1980s.
- 2. Reinforced concrete beams: occupy a large seat in modern buildings, generally rectangular beams, T-shaped beams, thin web beams, and roof trusses; rectangular beams and T-shaped beams are suitable for cast-in-situ reinforced concrete structures. Prefabricated on site or prefabricated by factory, and hoisted by machinery; reinforced concrete beams are divided into prestressed and non-prestressed.
- 3. Steel frame beams: Steel frame structures are more common in factory buildings and large-span building structures, and the steel frame members are welded and bolted together to assemble roof frame structures.
