What is a Beam?
A beam is a structural member designed to carry and transfer loads across space to support different elements.
The span of a column is the extent of space between 2 support elements of a structure. The clear span is the distance between the inner faces of the 2 supports of a span, while the effective span is the distance between the inner faces of the 2 supports of a span.
