Difference between Beam and Joist

[@josephehrlich7438]

Yes, excellent video. The drawing and simple explanation really helped me understand how the load is transferred and the differences between joists and beams. Thank you!

[@civilengineering94]

Glad it was helpful!

Afternoon Rusty ! I just saw this video. When you showed us the 8x16 shed with the little front porch for the price of $6,200 it’s not bad if someone is a good DIYer.

[@niklavee4661]

I am learning how to hang a porch swing and this video helped me so much. I know nothing about building structure so thank you for your video, sir!

Glad it was helpful!

I landed here from my real estate licence course in Canada, Thanks for the explanation

[@civilengineering94]

Great job!

[@Optimus798]

You’re a great teacher! Thanks for sharing :)

[@civilengineering94]

You are so welcome!

How can the beam in the middle of the slab transfer load to the four columns if it is not supported by any structural member?

[@thomasabraham8850]

Excellent explanation

[@civilengineering94]

Thank You

Your are great in explanation of civil works

[@civilengineering94]

Thanks #Suzyo

[@geralynpalacol9295]

THANK YOU!!! VERY INTERESTING!!!

[@civilengineering94]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@Gumby518]

Good explanation; thank you. For future videos, I might recommend either a mic or dampening material in the room where you shoot.

[@mahmoodkhan6623]

do you have a 3d version of this?

[@453erd]

I relly like your videos, Im steel detailer form México with Tekla Structures (BIM), and i understand that you explain. thank you so much¡ could you explaind the vierendeel beam?

[@civilengineering94]

Thanks #Alex

So basically joists are used in long span buildings because you’d have to place a beam inside the building otherwise and people don’t want/like that. Joists are horizontal members that replace the beams you would’ve put instead.

[@erichill7560]

And I have to think that the edges of the slab are also beams, so that their role in transferring load to the columns is accounted for?

[@md.munirulislam9070]

how this beam will transfer load to column without periphery beam?

[@shreyashddeshpande]

Bro ofcourse it is pre-assumed that there is peripheral primary beams of main structure

[@alexisl4348]

No expert but pretty sure that beam from the center in your illustration can't hold the weight as it lacks any column support right? I assume the beams go underneath and somewhere towards the parameter atop the columns for support. Again no expert just confused as to how it would function in your completed illustration.

[@llisagomez5706]

Couldn't understand a word

[@daksheshdesai6850]

Nice explain

[@RuairiGogan]

So what the ratio of beam size : joice?

[@morgenveres3945]

Thank you for your work.

[@civilengineering94]

My pleasure!

[@sangsookim4447]

very easy! thank you!

[@civilengineering94]

You're welcome!

[@NickAlways]

Thanks so much

[@civilengineering94]

You're welcome!

[@Lilacplane]

Slab ? I was looking for information about ceiling joists. I still havequestions.

[@stephanienezam9978]

Thank you so much for sharing! This is very helpful💛

[@civilengineering94]

Glad it was helpful!

[@StartMotivationalJourney]

but there is no column under the beam what support the beam ??

[@deepaky100]

Thanky Sir

[@saiconsultancy4485]

hii sr how to connect Joist truss with main truss

[@saiconsultancy4485]

Please send your watsapp no.

[@gianakoo571]

thank you

[@civilengineering94]

You're welcome

[@shohruhochilov2254]

why we put beam in the middle of joist, 2 beams from each side is enough? could you give definitions please?

[@StartCamera530]

That beam in middle is a secondary beam which connects to the main beams on each side..

@@civilengineering94 Love you brother 💖❤️😇

[@fredsmith6324]

i get it generally, but i don't see in the diagram how the beam transfers load to the columns. there are no columns under the beam.

[@almuhsininsomalichannel3207]

I ask you engineer to begin lessons of autocad like plan ,elevation,column Layout, plinth e.t.c

[@monishsurana9048]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@Scorch1028]

Put another way, every joist is a crossbeam, but not every crossbeam is a joist.
