May I ask about the classification and functions of beams in construction, such as floor beams, connecting beams, foundation beams, etc.?
Generally, the beams that make up the main structure of a framework are called frame beams, while the beams that connect different frames are known as connecting beams. Foundation beams, of course, are those that serve to support the foundation; they are usually located below 0m depth
As a supplementary point, there are ring beams and lintels. A ring beam is a beam that runs along the outer wall beneath the roof of a building, while a lintel is a load-bearing beam that is placed above openings such as doors and windows or in large spaces. Beam, the load-bearing beam in cantilevered structures.
