What is an architectural construction method that spans short distances between two upright supports?

An architectural construction method that spans short distances between two upright supports is known as a lintel. Lintels are typically horizontal beams made of wood, steel, or reinforced concrete, used to support the weight of structures above openings such as doors and windows. They distribute the load from the structure above to the vertical supports on either side, allowing for open spaces without compromising stability. This technique is commonly employed in both residential and commercial buildings.

Difference between load bearing wall and framed structure?

Load bearing structures are structures where the loads are transferred to the foundation via load bearing walls(external and internal). These type of structures have a smaller window to walls ratio. Since the loads are borne by the walls the height of walls are limited. Framed structures are structures where the loads are transferred to the foundation via beams and columns. So beams and columns play a major role here. The loads in floor is transferred to the beams and then columns. These type structures can have large open areas in the walls. These type of structures can be adapted in high-rise buildings.

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.
