Difference between Beam (structure) and Lumber

Beam (structure) vs. Lumber

A beam is a structural element that primarily resists loads applied laterally to the beam's axis. Lumber (American English; used only in North America) or timber (used in the rest of the English speaking world) is a type of wood that has been processed into beams and planks, a stage in the process of wood production.

Framing (construction)

Framing, in construction, is the fitting together of pieces to give a structure support and shape.

Joist

A joist is a horizontal structural member used in framing to span an open space, often between beams that subsequently transfer loads to vertical members.

Timber framing

Timber framing and "post-and-beam" construction are traditional methods of building with heavy timbers, creating structures using squared-off and carefully fitted and joined timbers with joints secured by large wooden pegs.
