what is tie-beam?where it used?

Answer Posted / sanjeev kumar jain

The tie beam is a terminology used for a beam whose
function is not to carry the slab load but just to act as a
stiffner to the columns and thereby reduce the long column
effect. Sometimes it also acts as a damp proof course at
the plinth level and as a seperator for ventilators and
doors when placed at the lintel level.
