Spandrel Beam
What is a Spandrel Beam?
A spandrel beam is a structural component used to support the edges of a building or floor, often found in the space between two columns or walls. It plays an essential role in transferring loads from the upper floors or roof to the lower levels of a structure. Typically, a spandrel beam supports elements such as walls, beams, or floor slabs and is crucial in the overall stability of the building. The design of a spandrel beam ensures that the building’s framework remains strong and stable under pressure.
