Why Do Beams Have a Greater Depth Than Width? | Beam Design Explained

In this video, we explore why beams are designed with a larger depth compared to their width and how this shape improves their strength and stiffness. We explain the concept of bending stress, the importance of section modulus, and why increasing depth is far more effective than increasing width for resisting loads.
