It is defined as a beam that has its one or both ends stretching out past its
supports. It can have any number of supports. In other words, it is a beam when
a cantilever portion is hanging out of a simply supported beam.

reinforcement and for distribution of these types of reinforcement special

shapes, geometry and material. What is a beam and the types of beams?

Classification on the basis of support conditions
There are various types of support conditions- free end, roller support, hinged What is the depth of a beam?
support and fixed support. By making combinations of different type of support
conditions we get different type of beams.
Ask New Question
If one end is having hinged support and other end is roller supported
then we get a simply supported beam.
If we extend one end of the beam beyond the support then we get a
overhang beam.

If we extend both the ends of the beam beyond the support the we get
double overhang beam.
If one end of beam is fixed and other end is free then this condition is What is the difference between a low beam and a
known as cantilever condition and the beam is known as cantilever
beam.
Ask New Question
If one end is fixed and other is hinged/roller supported then it is known

as propped cantilever beam.
If both the ends of the beam are fixed then it is known as fixed beam.
There can be one more case, in which we can provide roller support
at both the ends. But in that case beam will be unstable as there
will be no horizontal reaction to restrict the movement of beam if
horizontal load is applied.

Beam is a horizontal structure member used to carry vertical load, shear load
and sometime horizontal load. It is the major component of building structures.
It mainly use in construction of bridges, trusses, and other structures which
carry vertical load.
Types of beams:
Beams are classified as follow.
According to equilibrium condition:
1. Statically determinate beam:
A beam is called determinate beam if it can be analyze by the basic equilibrium

condition. The support reaction can be found by using basic equilibrium
condition. These conditions are
Summation of all horizontal forces is zero.
Summation of all vertical forces is zero.
Summation of all moments is zero.
Example: Simply supported beam, Cantilever beam etc.

2. Statically indeterminate beam:
If the beam cannot be analysis by using basic equilibrium condition, known as

statically indeterminate beam. The end reaction find out by using basic
equilibrium condition with combination of other conditions like strain energy
method, virtual work method etc.
Example: Continuous beam, fixed beam What is the beam theory?

Classification of beams based on supports:

1. Simply supported - a beam supported on the ends which are free to
rotate and have no moment resistance.
2. Fixed - a beam supported on both ends and restrained from rotation.
3. Over hanging - a simple beam extending beyond its support on one end.
4. Double overhanging - a simple beam with both ends extending beyond

its supports on both ends.
5. Continuous - a beam extending over more than two supports.
6. Cantilever - a projecting beam fixed only at one end.
7. Trussed - a beam strengthened by adding a cable or rod to form a truss.

Source : Beam (structure)
Other miscellaneous types

Deep beams - beams that have large depths
Girders - Beams that take heavy loads, generally steel sections are used.
