A beam, in structural engineering, is a fundamental component used to support loads. It is typically a long and sturdy member designed to span distances and transfer loads, such as weight from a roof, floor, or any additional structure, to vertical supports like columns or walls. Beams can be made from various materials, including wood, steel, concrete, or reinforced concrete, depending on the application and structural requirements.
