Why Do Beams have Greater Depth than Width? Explained with Examples

In this video, we explore the key reason why beams are designed with greater depth than width, a fundamental concept in structural engineering. Beams are critical load-bearing elements, and their dimensions play a crucial role in ensuring strength and stability. We discuss how the depth of a beam directly affects its moment of inertia, which determines its ability to resist bending. By increasing the depth, beams can handle larger loads and span longer distances while minimizing deflection. You'll also learn about the relationship between depth, bending stress, and structural efficiency, with practical examples and easy-to-understand explanations. Watch full video for more details.

What of the case of a slab beam

[@civilengineering94]

It is different case
