This document discusses mechanics of solids and support reactions. It contains information on different types of beams such as simply supported beams, overhanging beams, cantilever beams, fixed beams, continuous beams, and propped cantilever beams. It also discusses different types of loads like point loads, uniformly distributed loads, and uniformly varying loads. The types of supports covered are simple support, hinged support, roller support, and fixed support. The document provides examples of calculating reactions at supports for beams under different loading conditions.
