whether the beam is not used in this building?

[@Eng.tarekyoussef]

In this particular structure, we've taken the approach of considering the slab as a flat slab without drop panels. As a result, beams are not included in the structural system. However, if beams are present in a different model, it's essential to add their weights into calculations. The technique remains consistent: by multiplying the beam's volume by its density, we can accurately account for their contribution to the overall weight of the structure.
