What Is a Beam?
The beam is a primary part of a structural framing system specifically designed to carry
distributed loads such as parallel walls or roof systems. The beam is one of the most
commonly designed elements of a structure in engineering to resist load, & its primary
mode of deflection is bending. It is mainly used to resist bending moments, vertical
loads, and shear forces
What Is Girder?
The girder is basically a beam that supports other small beams and serves as the main horizontal
supports of a structure. Unlike beams, the girder is designed to support major concentric loads such
as columns or beam reactions, and their load carrying capacity is much higher than that of beams.

The floor of the office building is made of 4-in.-thick
lightweight concrete. If the office floor is a slab having a
length of 20 ft and width of 15 ft, determine the resultant
force caused by the dead load and the live load.
