👉Types of Beams in Construction Engineering

1. Simply Supported Beam
- Supported at both ends.
- Transfers load directly to supports.
- Common in bridges and simple structures.

2. Fixed Beam
- Both ends are rigidly fixed.
- No rotation at supports.
- Provides higher stability and less deflection.

3. Overhanging Beam
- Extends beyond one or both supports.
- Used in balconies and projections.
- Creates cantilever-like behavior.

4. Continuous Beam
- Extends over multiple supports.
- Distributes load efficiently.
- Common in long-span bridges and multi-support structures.

5. Propped Cantilever Beam
- Cantilever beam with an extra support.
- Reduces deflection compared to a pure cantilever.
- Often used in retaining walls.

6. T-Beam
- T-shaped cross-section with slab.
- Provides strength in bending.
- Common in reinforced concrete floors.

7. L-Beam
- L-shaped edge beam.
- Used at corners of slabs.
- Provides support along slab edges.

8. Deep Beam
- Large depth compared to span.
- Carries heavy loads.
- Used in foundations and transfer girders.
