Definition of hammer beam in English English dictionary
hammer-beam roof: English medieval timber roof system used when a long span was needed. Not a true truss, the construction is similar to corbeled masonry (see corbel) in that each set of beams steps upward (and inward) by resting on the ones below by means of curved braces and struts. The roof of Richard II's Westminster Hall in London (1402), with a 70-ft (21-m) span, is an excellent example
hammerbeam: A member of one description of roof truss, called hammer-beam truss, which is so framed as not to have a tiebeam at the top of the wall
hammerbeam: Each principal has two hammer-beams, which occupy the situation, and to some extent serve the purpose, of a tiebeam
