Abstract
A beam () comprising first and second flanges (), the beam () having a first region () extending between the flanges () and a second region () extending between the flanges. The first region () is designed to support an applied concentrated shear load and the second region () is designed to support a predominantly bending load. The first region comprises a fan-shaped truss comprising a hub () adjacent the first flange and a plurality of struts () which extend substantially radially from the hub (), and the second region () comprises either a truss structure which is substantially regular in the longitudinal beam direction or a shear web. The beam may, for example, be used as a floor beam for an aircraft fuselage.
