The document summarizes the different types of beams. It discusses 9 types of beams classified based on their support: simply supported, fixed, over hanging, double overhanging, continuous, cantilever, and trussed. A simply supported beam is supported at the ends and free to rotate with no moment resistance. A fixed beam is supported at both ends and restrained from rotating. A cantilever beam is fixed at only one end and projects from that end.

5. A beam is a structural element that primarily resists loads applied
laterally to the beam's axis. Its mode of deflection is primarily by bending.
The loads applied to the beam result in reaction forces at the beam's
support points. The total effect of all the forces acting on the beam is to
produce shear forcesand bending moments within the beam, that in turn
induce internal stresses, strains and deflections of the beam. Beams are
characterized by their manner of support, profile (shape of cross-
section), length, and their material.

6. Types of Beam
Classification based on supports
In engineering, beams are of several types
There are manly Seven types of beam classified on the
base of support

8. a beam supported on the ends which are free to rotate and have no
moment resistance.
Simply supported

9. a beam supported on both ends and restrained from rotation.
Fixed

10. a simple beam extending beyond
its support on one end.
Over hanging

11. a simple beam with both ends extending
beyond its supports on both ends.
Double overhanging

12. a beam extending over more than two supports.
Continuous

13. a projecting beam fixed only at one end.Cantilever

14. a beam strengthened by adding a cable or rod to form a truss
Trussed
