What is the advantage of open-web floor trusses and engineered i-joists compared to dimensional lumber?
Trusses you can run all the ducts and piping in the truss, makes a much neater and easier to finish basement. Engineered beams are stronger and can span wider distances.
What is a Pan Slab?
A pan slab is a elevated concrete slab that is formed with integral beams. The slab and beams are formed with either wood or pre-engineered forms, i.e.. PERI Forms. The Pans (forms) are supported by shoring jacks, either wooden or pre-engineered metal forms of various different manufacturers. For in-depth information, please refer to the DANSCO Web site. There you will find several methods of engineered Pan and shoring methods. Multi-story buildings are easily constructed using this method, please refer to spec section 03 31 00 Cast in Place Structural Concrete for further information on placing concrete, mix designs, and many other engineered requirements.
Can you drill into concrete beams?
better try to avoid drilling on concrete beams......!!
WHAT IS V1027M?
Steel I beams
How concrete slab distribute the load to the beams?
Just like your tummy slab tranfers your weight to your leg beams

Why do you need to compose a beam?
It is cheaper than engineered beams.
What does lvl mean in timber beams?
Laminated veneer lumber
What is the triangle at the 19 inch mark on a tape measure for?
On my tape measures, the mark shows up as a diamond. The distance is approximately 19.2 inches. This mark is used for determining the spacing of engineered wood beams rather than traditional 2x8's, 2x10's etc. Engineered beams are stronger than traditional wood and the span between them is greater. If you look further on the tape measure, the triangle or diamond mark is repeated at multiples of roughly 19.2 inches to facilitate construction with engineered beams.
When did engineered wood products become more popular?
Traditionally, mills in this industry cut joists, beams, and other structural members from large logs, but during the 1990s and 2000s, engineered wood products became increasingly popular.
What happens when light beams reflect at the same angle?
regular reflection
Can you cut holes in engineered i-beams?
Yes...Though it can take a while to drill through. I had to put my curtains up drilling timber to I RSJ's. No more then 20mm/30mm max though I doubt you will find the kit to do that. ponypomp; Guess you are referring to electrical and plumbing lines. For engineered joists, such as laminated veneer lumber or I-joists, follow the manufacturer's hole-drilling specifications exactly. Hope you go with pex for you water. Cheap,easy to work with, more freeze resistant, cleaner, less work.
What are some types of hardword lumber?
soft wood (ie. pine) grows fast, is soft (not as strong), burns quicker (more flame). Hard wood (ie. oak) is opposite, and provides more heat and less deposits in the chimney.There is a wood (used on piers on Staten Island Ferry) from South America which is heavier than water so it sinks (and isn't an hindrance to boats.)Or you question (vague) could mean light and dark. Try a search engine or the library. Some books have good photos. Slow growth means the rings are close together.
What is the difference between a Joist and Beam?
A joist can be a board as small as a 2 x 6 on up to a 2 x 12. A "beam" can be as simple as two joists nailed together. Beams will change depending on the load required of it. Some beams will require three 2 x 12s, glued and screwed or extreme loads or spans will call for engineered wood beams or even steel "I" beams with pipe columns.
Why do your high beams work but not your regular low beams?
It could be a bad dimmer switch, or the low beam elements inside the dual headlight bulb could be burned out.
Why do you need a mirror to see yourself?
Regular reflection: Occurs when light beams are reflected at the same angle. When your eye detects the reflected beams, you can see a reflection on the surface.
What are the most common uses for special order laminated veneer lumber and beams?
L.V.L or laminated veneer lumber is used mainly in house framing as Floor joists, Lintels and as roof beams.It has also been used for scaffolding and various other uses, but not as commonly.
