One end of the beam is supported by hinge support and the other one by roller support. This support allows the horizontal movement of the beam. Its beam-type undergoes both shear stress and bending moment.
1. Simply Supported Beam. It is one of the simplest structural elements that both ends rest on supports but is free to rotate. It contains pinned support at one end and a roller support at the other end. Based on the assigned load, it sustains shearing and bending.

The primary purpose of the beam is to resist the external load applied to it and distribute it to the foundation through the column. The horizontal beam carries an only transverse load, and the sloping beams carry both transverse and axial load. The cross-sectional dimensions are generally designed based on the requirements, and the width is fixed ...
Based on the design requirements, there are many types of beams in construction. It can be classified. 1. Based on Loads & Supports 2. Based on Geometry 3. Based on Shape of Cross Section 4. Based on Equilibrium Conditions 5. Based on Material 6. Based on Construction Methods
Simply supported beamFixed beamOverhanging beamDouble overhanging beamStraight Beam – Typical beam that you see in the construction site. Supported at two ends and carries bending moment and shear force. Curved Beam – Curved beam supported at two ends and carries bending moment, shear force and torsional force. Tapered Beam – As shown in the picture, It is a straight beam. But the cross-section of one side will be bi...
Rectangular Beam – Rectangular beams carry tension at the bottom and compression at the top. Their cross-section characterizes the following beams. They are mostly used in the structural steel construction industry, as industrial buildings. I-Beam T-Beam C-Beam L Beam – The edge beams which are cast monolithically with slabs on one side of the rib ...
Statically determinate beamStatically indeterminate beamTimber beamSteel beamReinforced Concrete BeamComposite beam – A horizontal structural element, with a combination of Steel Section & concrete, is called an Encased or Composite beam. The composite beam mostly provided for the truss structure...Cast In-situ Concrete Beam –Cast In-situ means pouring concrete after placing the molds (slab, beam formwork, and reinforcement) correctly. It is opposite to the precast.Precast Concrete Beam –As the name suggests, precast concrete beams are mould somewhere else and then lifted and placed with the use of lifting machinery.Prestressed Concrete Beam –In a prestressed concretebeam, the beam will be provided with some precompression on the concrete by tensioned steel wires or cables. So that it won’t develop minor crack...A overhanging beam is a beam that has one or both end portions extending beyond its supports. It may have any number of supports. If viewed in a different perspective, it appears as if it is has the features of simply supported beam and cantilever beam.
While the simple beam and single cantilever have deformed shapes with simple single curvature, the overhanging beam has multiple, or double, curvature (S shaped when the beam has a single extended end).

Sep 30, 2020 · Beams transfer loads imposed along their length to their end points to walls, columns, foundations, etc. In this article, different types of beams used in building construction will be discussed based on their manner of support, cross-section shape (profile), length, and their material.
