"ring beam" is a correct and usable phrase in written English
It refers to a horizontal beam that runs around the perimeter of a circular or hexagonal structure, such as a tower or silo, to help distribute the weight and provide stability. Example: The engineers reinforced the tower's stability by adding a strong ring beam at its base.
In buildings where part of the wall is solid, for example in ring beam construction, the warmer insulated walls may accentuate condensation at the corner of the wall with the floors and ceilings.
In large silos a ring beam is used to distribute the column forces into the shell.
Classical shell, plate, and ring beam theories are used to obtain flexibility coefficients.
A better alternative is to use a combination of a flexible ring beam and an intermediate ring stiffener.
Non-conventional techniques were used to analyse the ring beam under non-uniform loadings of the cofferdam during the various stages of construction.
The calculated flux is higher than 1×1010 phs/s under 300 mA ring beam current for the whole covered photon energy.
An experimental investigation has been carried out on 10 full-scale rubble-stone or brickwork masonry ring beams.
It was found that the application of wood, steel, and reinforced concrete ring beams and other connective elements impede the collapse of walls and roofs (Nadim et al. 2004; Maheri et al. 2005).
This innovative double-wall silo consists of internal and external walls with multiple bolt connections and ring beams, which can not only provide effective insulation but also enhance the stability and bearing capacity of the structure.
A spherical dome or circular plate roof, cylindrical container, top and bottom ring beams together with a circular plate foundation are considered as possible components of a water tank in the flexibility formulation.
Furthermore, the development of earth pressure and the hoop stress in the walls (ring beams) can be obtained using conventional parameters, extending the ability of the classic BEF method to aid the design of circular excavations.
