As I would interpret the question, I would refer to the nature of reinforcing to be placed within the concrete. Often in large beams, the reinforcing steel may be made up separately in "cages" and set in place for the concrete pour. The reinforcing may be comprised of shear, bending, torsional, and specialized support components.
better try to avoid drilling on concrete beams......!!

The different types of beams used in house construction include wood beams, steel beams, and reinforced concrete beams. Wood beams are commonly used for their versatility and cost-effectiveness, while steel beams are known for their strength and durability. Reinforced concrete beams are also popular for their ability to support heavy loads and resist fire and moisture damage.

Also reffered to as 'slab footing' and it consists of concrete footing beams integrated into the concrete floor slab.
