What is the primary function of concrete beams in a structure?

• To provide aesthetic appeal

• To take up the load of a floor or wall and relay it to other structural components

• To reduce the cost of construction

• To increase the height of the building

How can the load capacity and/or span of a ceiling be increased?

• By using lighter materials

• By using beams

• By reducing the number of floors

• By increasing the thickness of the walls

What is a suspended concrete floor?

• A floor slab where its perimeter, or at least two of its opposite edges, are supported on walls, beams, or columns that carry its weight and imposed loading.

• A floor slab that is directly placed on the ground.

• A floor slab that is only supported by columns.

• A floor slab that is suspended by cables.
