In this paper, we study the semilinear beam equation with a locally distributed nonlinear damping on a smooth bounded domain. We first construct approximate solutions, and we show that the aforementioned approximate solutions decay uniformly in the weak phase space by using an observability inequality associated to the linear problem and a unique continuation property. Then, we prove the global existence as well as the uniform decay of solutions for the original model by passing to the limit and using a weak lower semicontinuity argument, respectively.
