    There are four main types of beams classified by support conditions, cross-section shape, equilibrium condition, and geometry. Beams can be simply supported, fixed, cantilevered, continuous, or overhanging based on how they are supported. Their cross-section can vary in shape. By equilibrium, beams are either statically determinate where equations alone solve for reactions, or statically indeterminate which is more complex. A beam's geometry can also classify it as straight, curved, or tapered.

    Types of Beams in Constructions

    There are different types of beams which are classified based on the following
    conditions

    1. Based on Support Conditions


    2. Based on Cross-Section Shapes
    3. Based on Equilibrium Condition
    4. Based on Geometry

    1.Based on Support Conditions


    Simply Supported Beam

    Fixed Beam
    Cantilever Beam

    Continuous Beam

    Overhanging Beam
    Double Overhanging Beam

    Trussed Beam
    2.Based on Cross-Section Shapes

    3.Based on Equilibrium Condition


    Statically determinate beam
    For a statically determinate beam, equilibrium conditions alone can be
    used to solve reactions, i.e the number of unknown reactions are equal to
    the number of equations. These conditions are summation of all vertical
    forces is zero. Summation of all vertical forces is zero. Summation of all
    moments is zero. Example: Simply supported beam, Cantilever beam
    etc.

    Statically indeterminate beam


    For a statically indeterminate beam, equilibrium conditions are not enough to solve

    reactions. So, the analysis of this type of beam is more complicated than that of

    statically determinate beams. Example: Continuous beam, Fixed beam etc.


    5.Based on Geometry
    Straight beam

    Curved beam
    Tapered beam
