A composite beam is a structure in which two or more materials, such as concrete and steel, are physically or chemically bonded together to act as a single unit. This type of beam combines the strength and stiffness of different materials to create a more efficient and cost-effective structure.
On the other hand, a steel beam is made entirely of steel and is commonly used in construction for its high strength, durability, and flexibility. Steel beams are often used in the construction of buildings, bridges, and other large structures.
The main difference between composite beams and steel beams is their composition. Composite beams contain multiple materials while steel beams are made entirely of steel. Composite beams are typically used in complex structures, while steel beams are often used in simpler structures that require high strength and durability.
