CLASSIFICATION OF BEAMS

Beams are horizontal members of a structure that are slender and support loads applied perpendicular to their longitudinal axis

  • SIMPLY SUPPORTED BEAM : It is a beam supported freely at the two ends of walls or column.
  • OVERHANGING BEAMS : In overhanging beam, its end extends beyond the wall or column support.
  • CANTILEVER BEAMS : It is fixed in wall or column in one end and the other end is free.
  • FIXED BEAMS : In this beam, both ends of the beam are rigidly fixed in to the supports.
  • PROPED CANTILEVER BEAMS : One end is fixed and other end is hinged.
  • CONTINUOUS BEAM : It is supported on more than two supports.
