Beam numbering system
Beam numbering system
(OP)
There was a querry for column numbering system. What is the accepted numbering system for beams?
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

RE: Beam numbering system
12X24 BM
2-15M T
2-20M B
1-20M6.6 TX AT SUP (top extra at support)
6-10M@10, REM 10M@24
TYP ALL BM MK B211
or in a tabulated schedule beams noted on the plan as B211. For something with that many different beams I'd likely use a schedule.
If steel, it would be:
W250X33
TYP ALL BM MK B211
and I likely wouldn't use a schedule.
RE: Beam numbering system
I think it is also very important to avoid naming Post tensioned beams and conventionally reinforced beams (in concrete) with similar names. Before I graduated from GA Tech, I spent most of my time detailing formwork shop drawings. I recall one job where the beams designations were PBXXX and PBBXXX, one PT the other conventional. If it confuses those in the office, the field will feel a greater hurt.
