Types of supports
• Beams are usually described by the manner in which they are supported.
– Pinned or Hinged support
– Roller support
– Fixed support
Pinned or Hinged support
• The essential feature of a pin support is that it prevents translation at the end of
a beam but does not prevent rotation.
• A pinned support restrict the movement of beam horizontally and vertically but
the axis of the beam can rotate in the plane of the figure.
• Consequently, a pin support is capable of developing a force reaction with both
horizontal and vertical components (HA and RA), but it cannot develop a moment
reaction.
Roller support
• The roller support prevents translation in the vertical direction but not in the
horizontal direction;
• Hence this support can resist a vertical force (RB) but not a horizontal force.
• Of course, the axis of the beam is free to rotate.
• The vertical reactions at roller supports and pin supports may act either upward
or downward, and the horizontal reaction at a pin support may act either to the
left or to the right.
Fixed support (or clamped support)
• At the fixed support, the beam can neither translate nor rotate, whereas at the
free end it may do both.
• Consequently, both force and moment reactions may exist at the fixed support.

1. Concentrated load or point load
• When a load is applied over a very small area it may be idealized as a
concentrated load, which is a single force (P1 and P2 in figure)
2. Uniformly distributed load (UDL)
• When a load is spread along the axis of a beam, it is represented as a distributed
load.
• Distributed loads are measured by their intensity, which is expressed in units of
force per unit distance (for example, newtons per meter).
• A uniformly distributed load, or uniform load, has constant intensity q per unit
distance as shown in figure.
3. Uniformly Varying load(UVL)
• A varying load has an intensity that changes with distance along the axis; for
instance, the linearly varying load of Fig. has an intensity that varies linearly from
q1 to q2.
4. Couple
• Another kind of load is a couple, illustrated by the couple of moment M1 acting
on the overhanging beam (Fig. c).
Types of Beams
– Simply supported beam
– Cantilever beam
– Over hanging beam
Simply supported beam
• For instance, a beam with a pin support at one end and a roller support at the
other is called a simply supported beam or a simple beam.
• Thus, end A of the beam of Fig. a. cannot move horizontally or vertically but the
axis of the beam can rotate in the plane of the figure.

Consequently, a pin support is capable of
developing a force reaction with both horizontal
and vertical components (HA and RA), but it cannot
develop a moment reaction.
At end B of the beam (Fig. a) the roller support
prevents translation in the vertical direction but
not in the horizontal direction;
Hence this support can resist a vertical force (RB)
but not a horizontal force.
Of course, the axis of the beam is free to rotate at
B just as it is at A.
The vertical reactions at roller supports and pin supports may act either upward or
downward, and the horizontal reaction at a pin support may act either to the left or to
the right
Cantilever beam
•
The beam shown in Fig. b, which is fixed at one end and free at the other, is
called a cantilever beam.
• At the fixed support (or clamped support) the beam can neither translate nor
rotate, whereas at the free end it may do both.
• Consequently, both force and moment reactions may exist at the fixed support.
Over hanging beam
• This beam is simply supported at points A and B (that is, it has a pin
support at A and a roller support at B) but it also projects beyond the
support at B.
• The overhanging segment BC is similar to a cantilever beam except that
the beam axis may rotate at point B
Shear force and bending Moment
• The force which is trying to shear off the section is called shear force.
• Shear Force at a section in a beam is the force that is trying to shear off the
section and is obtained as the algebraic sum of all the forces including the
reactions acting normal to the axis of the beam either to the left or to the right of
the section.
• The moment which bends the section is called bending moment.
• Bending moment at a Section in a beam is the moment that is trying to bend it
and is obtained as the algebraic sum of the moments about the section of all the
forces including the reaction acting on the beam either to the left or to the right
of the section
Sign conventions
•
•
•
•
•
•
Clock wise (CW) moment is taken as Negative
Counter clock wise (CCW) moment in taken as positive
A positive shear force acts clockwise against the material
A negative shear force acts counterclockwise against the material.
A positive bending moment compresses the upper part of the beam
A negative bending moment compresses the lower part.
