How is the load on roof beam framing transmitted to the foundation in plank and beam framing?

In plank and beam framing, the load on the roof is transmitted to the foundation through a series of structural components. The roof's weight is first carried by the roof beams, which distribute the load down to the floor joists. These joists then transfer the load to the supporting beams or walls, ultimately directing the force to the foundation. This system ensures that the structural integrity is maintained and the loads are evenly distributed across the foundation.


Which is stronger a plank bridge or a arch bridge?

An arch bridge. I think that may have been discovered quite some time ago !!! +++ It was - the Romans used arches extensively, in buildings as a well as for bridges. However, the arch is indeed stronger than the plank, or simple beam, bridge because it transmits the loads to its abutments. You can stiffen a beam bridge by fitting it with vertical side-members, or in larger structures, frames (trusses).
