Girder: Usually the most important beams which are frequently at wide
spacing. Beams that constitute the main load resisting system.
Joist: Usually less important beams which are closely spaced, frequently with
truss-type webs
Purlin: Roof beams spanning between trusses
Stringer: Longitudinal bridge beams spanning between cross beams.
Cross Beam: Transverse bridge beams spanning between main girder or truss.
Another name: Transom.
Girt: Horizontal wall beams serving principally to resist bending due to wind
on the side of an industrial building; frequently supporting corrugated
siding.
Lintel: Members supporting a wall over window or door openings.
Other terms, such as header, trimmer, and rafter, are sometimes used.

When the yield stress is reached at the extreme fiber [Fig. (b)], the
nominal moment strength Mn is referred to as the yield moment My and
is computed as
When the condition of Fig. (d) is reached, every fiber has a strain equal
to or greater than εy = Fy/Es i.e., it is in the plastic range. The nominal
moment strength Mn is therefore referred to as the plastic moment Mp,
and is computed as.
For wide-flange (W) shapes in flexure about the strong axis (X-
X) the shape factor ranges from about 1.09 to about 1.18, with
the usual value being about 1.12. One may conservatively say the
plastic moment strength Mp of W sections bent about their
strong axis is at least 10% greater than the strength My, when
the extreme fiber just reaches the yield stress Fy.
