Beam can be defined as a structural member which is normally placed horizontal. It provide resistance to bending when loads are applied on it. There are various types materials used for construction of beam such as steel, aluminum, wood etc. But RCC (Reinforced Cement Concrete) is most commonly used material for construction of beam.
TYPES OF RCC BEAMS
Depending upon their supporting system RCC beam can be classified in to four categories as follows-
- Simply Supported Beam
- Continuous Beam
- Semi-Continuous Beam
- Cantilever Beam
- T- Beam
1. SIMPLY SUPPORTED BEAM
The simply supported beam contains only a single span which is supported by two supports at both ends. This beam also called simple beam.
2. CONTINUOUS BEAM
This types of beam has more than two span and has more than three supports along its length in one straight line.
This types of beam has more than two span and has more than three supports along its length in one straight line.
3. SEMI-CONTINUOUS BEAM
This types of beams does not have more than two span and three supports.
4. CANTILEVER BEAM
This types of beam has only one support in one end, other end is free.
5. T-BEAM
When floor slabs and beams are poured simultaneously producing a monolithic structure where where the portion of the slab at both side of the beam serves as flange of T beam. The beam below the slab serves as the web member and is sometimes called stem.
Wonderful...sir I want to know about small scale factory design and materials.
ReplyDeleteThank you dear
DeleteI will try to give complete information about small scale factory and materials.
