joist/beam/rafter
It could be a beam or joist or rafter, depending on how it's used.
Beam
A structural member, usually horizontal, whose main function is to carry loads transverse to its longitudinal axis. These loads usually cause bending of the beam member. Some types of beams are simple, continuous, and cantilever.
Joist
A structural load-carrying member with an open web system which supports floors and roofs utilizing hot-rolled or cold-formed steel and is designed as a simple span member.
Rafter
The main beam supporting a roof system or a sloping roof framing member.
