The Basics about Primary, Secondary and Tie Beam
Those beams which are connecting columns for transferring loads of a structure directly to the columns are known as primary beams. Primary beams have always greater depth than the secondary beams. It is acting as a medium between columns and secondary beams. Those beams that are connecting primary beams for transferring loads of a structure to the primary beams are primary beams. They are actually supporting and reducing the deflection of beams and slabs. Beams which are connected by two or more rafters in the roof or roof truss for stiffening the whole building structure, are called tie beams.
