Additions:

Any **horizontally oriented structural member** that primarily carries vertical normals ([[load loads]] caused by gravity), and secondarily [[LateralLoad lateral loads]] (winds, earthquakes, etc). Beams rest on [[column columns]], walls, [[girder girders]], and in some instances [[grade]] (see [[GradeBeam grade beam]]), which then transfer the [[load loads]] they carry to other members, eventually dissipating at grade.

Deletions:

Any **horizontally oriented structural member** that primarily carries vertical normals ([[load loads]] caused by gravity), and secondarily horizontal loads ([[shear]], winds, earthquakes, etc). Beams rest on [[column columns]], walls, [[girder girders]], and in some instances [[grade]] (see [[GradeBeam grade beam]]), which then transfer the [[load loads]] they carry to other members, eventually dissipating at grade.
