The primary function of a beam is to transfer the applied loads, including the weight of the structure itself and any additional loads, to the supports, thereby providing stability and ensuring that the structure can safely carry the intended loads without excessive deflection or failure.
In Beam Section we have two designations Light Weight Beams and Medium Beams. Nominal Dimensions, Mass & Sectional properties are as given below:
