Why are trusses important in construction?
Trusses are triangular units that are used in construction to support the main structure. Put simply, they distribute the forces so that the structure is strong and stable enough to fulfill it's purpose.
What is the purpose for galvanized steel in the building construction?
Galvanized steel is most often used in pipes, roofs, support beams, wall braces, and residential framing. It is mostly used in building construction because it has no shrinking, warping, twisting or deforming like wood framing and other sources.
What is an i-beam?
I-beams are divided into ordinary I-beams, light I-beams and H-beams. I-beams are mainly used in crossbeam construction. Shanghai Changzheng produces I-beam, if you are interested in I-beam, welcome to consult with our company.
What is plank and beam construction?
Plank and beam is typically referred to as post and beam. This type of construction is used a large percentage of the time for new home construction. It is used in colder climates more than warmer climates because you have the ability to insulate under the floor of the house. In warmer climates slab floor construction is used more than it would be used in colder climates. There is another type of construction that is used but not as often. It is called the joist system. This is the way Post and Beam construction works. A vertical member (post) is set on concrete pads, about 8 feet apart. The horizontal member(beam) is set on the posts. The spacing between the beams are typically 4 feet apart. The end of the beams are placed in beam pockets that have been designed into the foundation. Then 2"x6" or 2"x8" tongue and grove planks are placed perpendicular on the beams to create the floor. In slab construction you pour a concrete floor between the footing and foundation. A joist system uses 2x material to span between two points and tie into a ledger board using metal hangers. This system is used for decks more often and the 2nd and 3rd floors of homes.
What is a tie member?
If you are talking about construction, it is a crosspiece between two upright I-beams that prevents them from flexing or otherwise moving out of place.

Meaning of trabeation?
Trabeation is a term used to describe certain events during architectural construction. It means that beams are being used instead of arches or vaults.
What if the Roof is steel deck on steel beams-what construction is this?
composite deck
What are the uses of cement in construction?
Cement is used to make concrete which is widely used for foundations, low walls and floors. In modern construction it is also pre-cast into walls of all kinds which are taken to a site and erected with use of a crane. Bridge beams with high tensile cables inside are also much used in construction.

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 types of beams distribute the load on a bridge best?
It would depend on the type of bridge construction.
Why do engineers use triangles in construction?
► Because it remains rigid. there is only one way to connect 3 lines into a triangle (think about beams and connectors). the structural strength comes from the beams and the connectors. the strength of the connectors is needed to keep the beams together, but the real strength comes from the beams. as long as they don't stretch/shrink, the triangle will be stable. for a rectangle, the same beams/connectors could be used for a parallelogram. all of the structural strength would have to be in the connectors. if the beams are allowed to pivot at the corners, you will loose the structure
