where is located compression and tension zone in simply support beam and cantilever beam?

Question

Accepted Answer

Compression zone is located at the bottom of a simply supported beam and at the top of a cantilever beam. Tension zone is located at the top of a simply supported beam and at the bottom of a cantilever beam.

In a simply supported beam, the compression zone is located at the bottom because the beam is supported at its ends, causing the bottom fibers to be compressed.
In a cantilever beam, the compression zone is located at the top because the beam is fixed at one end and the top fibers experience compression.
The tension zone is located at the top of a simply supported beam because the top fibers are stretched due to the bending moment.
In a cantilever beam, the tension zone is located at the bottom because the bottom fibers are stretched.

Accepted Answer

in simply support beam, compression zone location at top of middle part of beam and tension zone is located at bottom middle portion of beam but in case of cantilever beam it is exactly opposite to it.
