🏗️👷🌉 A drop beam in construction is a structural element that projects below the slab or floor it supports. Its primary functions are to provide extra support for heavier loads or longer spans, efficiently transfer loads from slabs to columns, and serve as a primary support for secondary beams or slab edges. Drop beams are often used to reduce the required slab thickness and are common in both residential and commercial buildings, although they can reduce headroom. #civilgyan_8 #civilgyan_ #d
