• Any horizontal structural member
sufficiently long as compared to its lateral
dimensions, supported at certain points
along its length, subjected to external forces
acting right angles to its axis is known as a
beam.
• SIMPLY SUPPORTED BEAM
• CANTILEVER BEAM
• FIXED BEAM
• OVER HANGING BEAM
• CONTINUOUS BEAM
• BEAM WITH ONE END HINGED AND THE
OTHER END ROLLER
• SIMPLY SUPPORTED BEAM
• When both ends of the beam are simply supported, it is
called a simply supported beam or freely supported beam.
• CANTILEVER BEAM
• If one end of the beam is fixed and other end is free then it
is called a cantilever beam.
• FIXED BEAM
A beam whose both ends are rigidly fixed then it is
known as a fixed beam or encaster beam or rigid
beam or restrained beam.
• OVER HANGING BEAMS
If a beam is projecting beyond the support or supports
then it is called an overhanging beam.
If one or both ends of a beam is projecting beyond the
supports, then it is called an over hanging beam
• OVER HANGING BEAMS
• A. Right over hanging beam
This beam has one of its ends hinged and the other side of
the beam is supported with roller.
These kind of beams are capable to withstand loads in any
direction
Span is the distance between two intermediate
supports.
1. CLEAR SPAN
2. EFFECTIVE SPAN
3. TOTAL SPAN
1.CLEAR SPAN ( L )
Clear Span is the horizontal distance
between the two inside surfaces of
the span supports.
2.EFFECTIVE SPAN ( l )
The centre to centre distance between two
supports is called effective span.
3.TOTAL SPAN
The outer to outer distance between two
supports is called effective span.
