What is the main advantage of a flitch beam?
the main advantage of flitch beam is to strengthen the beam and decrease the deflection (∆) in the beam by decreasing elasticity (E) because the elasticity of steel is much bigger than a wood beam. their ratio is about 15 to 20 (n=15 to 20).
What is the advantage and disadvantage of reinforced concrete beam and column?
reinforced concrete prise
What is a Cross beam?

What is the advantage of prefabricated wood building products?
The advantage of prefabricated wood building products is that they save builders money.
What is pt beam?
PT Beam is an initial for Post-Tensional beam. PT beams are slabs that are flat or ribbed and are normally used in construction of a building's foundation.
What is the advantage and disadvantage of reinforced concrete beam and column?
reinforced concrete prise
How do you square a metal building frame?
You can use "I" beam or "H" beam with "H" beam or pipe/sq tubing columns. I worked on a 200' x 300' building where we fabricated all of the beams out of 3/16 plate and flat bar and bolted them together. It really depends on the size of the building and the wind zone you live in.
What is a beam?
A beam is a crossbar of a balance, a large piece of timber or iron, a horizontal timber of a building, or a ray or collection of rays of parallel light.
What is the advantage and disadvantages of fixed beams?
There isn't really an advantage of having a fixed beam vs. a simply supported beam, it depends on what application the beam is for. If one of the design criteria of the beam is that it be able to deflect from one end to another then you are going to want to use a fixed beam. For example such applications could include a diving bored. A simply supported beam differs from a fixed beam because the beam is supported at both ends. Thus when a simply supported beam is loaded, the deflection will occur throughout the beam, since the ends are confined and will remain as they were. Furthermore on a fixed beam, (the end that is fixed) will have restrictive forces and moments keeping the end from moving.
