Engineering:Girt
From HandWiki
In architecture or structural engineering, a girt, also known as a sheeting rail, is a horizontal structural member in a framed wall. Girts provide lateral support to the wall panel, primarily to resist wind loads, and provide a framework for the thermal control layer. [1] Though girts come in a variety of profile shapes, Z-girts predominate wall assembly applications.[2]
A comparable element in roof construction is a purlin.
