girdered
Fitted with beams
Girdered means supported, reinforced, or equipped with girders—the heavy beams used in construction to bear weight.
A girdered bridge or building has these structural supports visible or integral to its design: The girdered ceiling gave the warehouse an industrial feel.
The word appears mainly in architectural and engineering contexts.
