steel beam
Building skeleton part
A steel beam is a structural support made of steel, used in construction to bear weight and span distances.
Steel beams form the skeleton of buildings, bridges, and other structures, prized for their strength-to-weight ratio.
The workers hoisted the steel beam into place with a crane.
The phrase gained internet notoriety through conspiracy theories about whether jet fuel burns hot enough to melt steel beams.
