bent cap

The name of "capping beam and ring beam" is not standardized. In fact, there are essential differences between coping and ring beam: coping is located at the top of the wall to prevent the wall from cracking and deformation, which is generally thin, mostly on the daughter's wall, wider than the wall, not necessarily closed, and the construction is relatively simple; The ring beam is set in the wall to increase the integrity of the building and achieve the effect of earthquake resistance. It is the same width as the wall and must be closed. Its structure is much more complicated than its response.
