6. Types of supports
Roller supports
Roller support allows thermal expansion and contraction of the span and prevents damage
on other structural members such as a pinned support. The typical application of Roller
supports is in large bridges. In civil engineering, roller supports can be seen at one end of a
bridge.
Roller support cannot prevent translational movements in horizontal or lateral directions and
any rotational movement but prevents vertical translations. Its reaction force is a single linear
force perpendicular to, and away from, the surface (upward or downward). This support type
is assumed to be capable of resisting normal displacement.
It can be rubber bearings, rocker or a set of gears allowing a limited amount of lateral
movement. A structure on roller skates, for example, remains in place as long as it must only
support itself. As soon as lateral load pushes on the structure, a structure on roller skates
will roll away in response to the force.
Pinned support[
Pinned support attaches the only web of a beam to a girder called a shear connection. The
support can exert a force on a member acting in any direction and prevent translational
movements, or relative displacement of the member-ends in all directions but cannot prevent
any rotational movements.[1]
Its reaction forces are single linear forces of unknown direction
or horizontal and vertical forces which are components of the single force of unknown
direction.[5]
Pinned support is just like a human elbow. It can be extended and flexed (rotation), but you
cannot move your forearm left to right (translation). One benefit of pinned supports is not
having internal moment forces and only their axial force playing a big role in designing them.
However, a single pinned support cannot completely restrain a structure. At least two
supports are needed to resist the moment.[7]
Applying in trusses is one frequent way we can
use this support.
Fixed support[edit]
Rigid or fixed supports maintain the angular relationship between the joined elements and
provide both force and moment resistance. It exerts forces acting in any direction and
prevents all translational movements (horizontal and vertical) as well as all rotational
movement of a member. These supports’ reaction forces are horizontal and vertical
components of a linear resultant; a moment.[5]
It is a rigid type of support or connection. The
application of the fixed support is beneficial when we can only use single support, and
people most widely used this type as the only support for a cantilever.[7]
They are common in
beam-to-column connections of moment-resisting steel frames and beam, column and slab
connections in concrete frames.
7. Hanger support[edit]
Hanger support only exerts a force and prevents a member from acting or translating away
in the direction of the hanger. However, this support cannot prevent translational movement
in all directions and any rotational movement.[1][5]
This is one of the simplest structural forms
in which the elements are in pure tension. Structures of this type range from simple guyed or
stayed structures to large cable-supported bridge and roof systems.[4]
Simple support[edit]
Simple support is basically where the structural member rests on an external structure as in
two concrete blocks holding a resting plank of wood on their tops. This support is similar to
roller support in a sense that restrains vertical forces but not horizontal forces. Therefore, it
is not widely used in real life structures unless the engineer can be sure that the member will
not translate.[7]

What is a Beam?
The beam is defined as the structural member which is used to bear different loads. It resists
the vertical loads, shear forces and bending moments.
9. Types of Beams
The different types of beams are:
1. Cantilever Beam:
A cantilever beam is a beam that is fixed from one end and free at the other end.
In the figure you can easily see that one end i.e. A is fixed and the other end i.e. B is free. So
this beam is called as cantilever beam.
2. Simply Supported Beam:
A beam which is supported or resting on the supports at its both the ends, is called simply
supported beam.
In the figure, both the ends of the beam is supported by supports, one support is at end A
and the other support is at end B. this beam is known as simply supported beam.

3. Overhanging Beam:
In a beam, if one of its ends is extended beyond the support, it is known as overhanging
beam.
As shown in the above figure, we observe that beam is extending beyond the support B, and
hence this beam is called overhanging beam.
4. Fixed Beams:
A beam which has both of its ends fixed or built in walls is called fixed beam.
11. In the figure, both the ends of the beams are rigidly fixed in the walls, this type of beams are
known as fixed beams.
5. Continuous Beam:
It is a beam which is provided with more than two supports as shown in figure.
Here we can see in the figure that the beam has more than two supports at A, B and C. This
beam is called continuous beams.
This is all about the different types of beams. If you found this piece of information useful
and valuable then don’t forget to like and share it.
Type of Loads Acting on Structures
12. Structural Loads:
A load is a force which applies to a structure tending to produce deformations, stresses or
displacements in the structure and it must withstand these types of generated actions.
Types of Loads:
1- Dead Loads: Vertical loads that are fixed in position and are produced by the weight of
the elements of the structure or the whole structure with all its permanent components.
Examples are: own weight of structural member and super imposed load
s (e.g. walls and flooring cover)
2- Live Loads: consist mainly of occupancy loads (e.g. people and furniture) in buildings
and traffic loads on bridges. They may be either fully or partially in place or not present at all,
and may also change in location.
13. Dead and live
loads
3- Wind Loads: are the positive or negative pressures exerted on a building when it
obstructs the flow of moving air. Wind loads generally act perpendicular the surface of the
structure. Value of load varies depending on the geographic location of the building and its
height.
14. Wind loads
4- Seismic Loads: are the inertial forces that act on the structure due to earthquake-
induced ground motions.
15. Seismic loads
5- Snow Loads: the amount of snow load on a roof structure is dependent on a variety of
factors:
• Roof geometry,
• Size of the structure,
• Insulation of the structure,
• Wind frequency,
• Snow duration,
• Geographical location of the structure.
