types of beams based on supports

What are the types of beams based on supports?

Beams are generally horizontal structural members which transfer loads horizontally along their length to the supports where the loads are usually resolved into vertical forces. Beams are used for resisting vertical loads, shear forces and bending moments.

Different types of beams can be classified based on the type of support.

1) Simply supported beam

2) Fixed beam

3) Cantilever beam

4) Over hanging beam

5) Continuous beam

6) Trussed beam
