steel girder

Building's metal skeleton

A steel girder is a large horizontal beam made of steel, used as a primary structural support in buildings, bridges, and other construction.

Girders bear heavy loads and span distances between vertical supports.

The crane lowered the steel girder into place across the foundation.
