fixed beam
[/ˈfɪkst biːm/]
nounpl: fixed beams
viga engastada
1. A structural beam that is rigidly supported at both ends or at least one end, preventing movement and rotation at the support points
The fixed beam spans the width of the building and can support heavy loads due to its rigid connections.
A viga engastada se estende pela largura do edifício e pode suportar cargas pesadas devido às suas conexões rígidas.
2. In engineering and construction, a beam whose ends are held firmly in place by fixed supports, as opposed to simply supported or cantilever beams
The engineer designed a fixed beam structure to reduce deflection and increase stability.
O engenheiro projetou uma estrutura de viga engastada para reduzir a deflexão e aumentar a estabilidade.
This is a technical term primarily used in civil engineering, architecture, and construction fields. It is essential vocabulary for professionals in the building industry in both Brazil and Portugal. The term reflects the standardized vocabulary used in international structural engineering practices, with slight variations between Brazilian Portuguese (viga engastada) and European Portuguese (viga encastrada).
