simple beam and cantilever beam

what type of beam rests on a support at each end with the beam ends being free to rotate

simple beam

what type of beam projects beyond its support

cantilever beam

what are two types of loads that are supported by a beam

concentrated load and distributed load

what is a concentrated load?

a concentrated load is a load that acts on one point

what is a distributed load?

it is a load that extends over a substantial portion or the entire length of a beam

what is a dead load?

a load that remains constant after they are applied

what are some examples of dead loads?

weight of beam

walls

partitions

floors

What are examples of live loads?

people in the building or equipment stored in the structure
