A structural support member is disclosed. It has at least two longitudinally extending flanges spaced apart from one another by an assembly comprising a web and at least one reinforcing member. The web comprises at least one wave-shaped web portion arranged perpendicularly to the flanges, and at least one apex of the at least one wave-shaped web portion comprises at least one reinforcing member. The structural support member is typically formed as a beam.

A truss connected to a structure via a fixed rod end attachment and at least one swing-link attachment. A first beam of the truss is connected to a frame member of the structure via a fixed rod end attachment, which locates the truss relative to the frame of the structure. Remaining beams of the truss to be connected to the frame of the structure are attached via swing-link attachments, which can pivot relative to the beam of the truss and the frame of the structure to allow relative movement between the beam and frame. The relative movement allows the structure to flex without imparting additional loads in the truss or the frame of the structure.

The invention relates to a structural beam for use in a building, the structural beam comprising a first end, a second end and a longitudinal axis extending therebetween; at least two spaced apart wall members each wall member extending parallel with the longitudinal axis, abase member spanning between the at least two spaced apart wall members, wherein the base member and each wall member cooperate to form a trough for receiving cement, wherein each wall member includes: a first ledge extending outwardly away from the trough and; a second ledge extending outwardly away from the trough; wherein the first ledge and second ledge cooperate to form a channel dimensioned for receiving a part of an insulation member.

The present technology relates to beams having a cross section defining a plurality of channels and assemblies comprising the beams. The beams can be used to form a beam assembly that is installed inside the truck bed of a pick-up truck. A ladder loader and a solar panel assembly can be pivotably secured to the beam assembly along either the driver side wall or the passenger side wall of the truck bed.

A composite open web beam joist includes a cambered beam joist portion including a top end, a bottom end, a first side, a second side, and an open web layout extending from end to end. The open web layout includes triangular web sections and openings between each of the triangular web sections. Each triangular web section includes a peak. A first chord angle beam is attached to the first side of the cambered beam-joist portion at the peaks of the triangular web sections. A second chord angle beam is attached to the second side of the cambered beam-joist at the peaks of the triangular web sections. A plate is vertically attached to a center of the top end of the cambered beam-joist. The plate extended longitudinally along the center of the top end of the cambered beam joist portion. The plate includes a distal end having a flange and a recess.

A built-up beam includes a pair of I-beams each having opposing flanges, a web that extends between the opposing flanges, a plurality of flange openings in each of the opposing flanges, a plurality of web openings in the web, and a plurality of bolt holes in one of the opposing flanges. The I-beams are stacked together flange-to-flange in a stacked beam configuration and a plurality of bolts extend through the plurality of bolt holes and secure the pair of I-beams together in the stacked beam configuration.

A truss system comprises at least one truss element of mutually parallel tube bodies (11, 12) which are mutually connected in a ladder element (10) by a system of shores (15, 16). The tube bodies (11, 12) are provided at opposite outer ends with coupling means (13) for a force-transmitting coupling to a further truss element. Ladder elements (10) are connected releasably to each other by form-stiff coupling elements (30).

A built-up beam includes a pair of I-beams each having opposing flanges, a web that extends between the opposing flanges, a plurality of flange openings in each of the opposing flanges, a plurality of web openings in the web, and a plurality of bolt holes in one of the opposing flanges. The I-beams are stacked together flange-to-flange in a stacked beam configuration and a plurality of bolts extend through the plurality of bolt holes and secure the pair of I-beams together in the stacked beam configuration.

The present technology relates to beams having a cross section defining a plurality of channels and assemblies comprising the beams. The beams can be used to form a beam assembly that is installed inside the truck bed of a pick-up truck. A ladder loader is pivotably secured to the beam assembly along either the driver side wall or the passenger side wall of the truck bed, with the ladder loader being pivoted between a stow position where the ladder loader is above the beam assembly, and a deployed position where the ladder loader is positioned outside either the driver side wall or the passenger side wall.

Disclosed is a terrace canopy, comprising a beam having a top side, a bottom side, an inner side and an outer side, and, in its cross-section, is provided with a screen cavity which is delimited by an upright inner side wall and a horizontal top wall and an internal space above the screen cavity. An upright wall extends from the end of the horizontal top wall. The beam comprises either a first closure profile for closing off the internal space or a wall profile attached to the upright wall and a second closure profile for closing off the internal space. Thus, multiple configurations of the beam are possible and an additional wall holder may be provided on the outer side of the screen cavity such that a double side wall infill is possible.
