Question

Beam and its types

Accepted Answer

A beam is a structural element that carries load primarily in bending. Types include cantilever, simply supported, fixed, and continuous beams.

Beams are horizontal or inclined structural members that support loads applied perpendicular to their longitudinal axis.
Types of beams include cantilever beams (supported at one end), simply supported beams (supported at both ends), fixed beams (supported at both ends with additional support at one or more points), and continuous beams (supported at more than two points).
Beams can be made of various materials such as wood, steel, concrete, or composite materials.
The design of beams involves considerations such as material properties, loading conditions, support conditions, and deflection limits.
