While beams etc. are often installed in the factory for brick element ceilings, integrated beams for suspended ceilings often consist of ceiling beams laid out several times next to each other with additional reinforcement. The same principle is used to support partition walls sitting on the ceiling if there is no statically effective concrete layer. If transverse ribs are to be provided, this can be done with the help of flat bricks.
