The beam is a structural member that is subjected to transverse loading to its axis.
Continuous beam:
- It is a statically indeterminate multi-span beam on hinged support.
- The end span may be cantilever, may be freely supported or fixed supported.
- It is a beam having more than 2 supports.
Fixed beam:
- It is a beam with ends restrained from rotation.
- The figure shows a fixed beam subjected to uniformly distributed load throughout.
- It is a statically indeterminate beam on Fixed support.
Overhanging beam:
- It is defined as a beam that has its one or both ends stretching out past its support.
- It can have any number of supports.
- It is a statically determinate multi-span beam on hinged support.
Simply supported beam:
- A simply supported beam is a type of beam that has pinned support at one end and a roller support at the other end.
- It is a statically determinate multi-span beam on hinged support.
Propped cantilever beam:
- The propped cantilever beam is a beam with one end fixed and the other end simply supported.
- It comes under statically indeterminate beams.
Cantilever beam:
- A beam fixed at one end and free at the other end is known as a cantilever beam.
- It comes under statically determinate beams.
From the above,
Statically determinate beams
- Cantilever beam
- Simply supported beam
- Overhanging beam
Statically indeterminate beams
- Propped cantilever beam:
-
Fixed beam
-
Continuous beam
