minus-square@WoodScientistlink18•4 months agoPartially correct. Those are beams, girders, and columns.
minus-squarewander1236linkfedilink8•4 months ago A girder (/ˈɡɜːrdər/) is a beam used in construction.
minus-square@WoodScientistlink14•4 months agoSpecifically a girder is a beam that other beams frame into. Gravity load typically goes slab->beam->girder->columns->foundation. At least that’s what I teach in my steel design classes.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink3•4 months agoAre there any girders in the picture then? Or none, or impossible to tell? I can’t see any, by that definition.
minus-square@WoodScientistlink10•4 months agoYou can see them on the upper levels. On the bottom level, you can see the shear tabs, mounted on the girders that additional beams will frame into.

Sounds like something a wood scientist would say…
I mean, I am literally working on a PhD in wood science.
