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.
Structural beam - What does UB48 mean?
UB48 refers to a specific type of universal beam used in construction and structural engineering. The "UB" stands for "Universal Beam," indicating that it has a standard shape and dimensions, while "48" denotes the depth of the beam in centimeters. Universal beams are commonly used for their strength and versatility in supporting loads in various building projects.
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.
Where is simply supported beam used?
A simply supported beam is commonly used in structural engineering and construction for bridges, buildings, and various frameworks. Its design allows for easy support at both ends, making it ideal for spanning short distances while efficiently carrying loads. Applications include floor systems, roof trusses, and even in machinery where straightforward load transfer is required. This type of beam is favored for its simplicity in analysis and construction.
Why should you provide a plinth beam?

How do you provide expansion joint in slab beam construction 75 meters in length?
The purpose of expansion joint , is to anticipate movement of structure due to temperature, earthquake,settlement. In 75 mtrs length of slabs we can make expansion joint in L/2 or 75/ 2 or L/ 3 for every 25 mtrs , we provide bearing Pads for movement. , actually this also name as movement joint.
