Beam (structure): Measurement, Stress & Overview

A beam is a structural element designed to carry loads perpendicular to its long (or "horizontal") axis. This contrasts with a strut or column, which bears its load perpendicular to its short (or "vertical") axis. A beam's mode of deflection is primarily by bending, as loads produce reaction forces at the beam's support points and internal bending…
