Statically Determinate Beams<br />
Cantilever, simply supported, overhanging beams are statically determinate beams as the<br />
reactions of these beams at their supports can be determined by the use of equations of<br />
static equilibrium <strong>and</strong> the reactions are independent of the deformation of the beam.<br />
There are two unknowns only.<br />
Statically Indeterminate Beams<br />
Fixed <strong>and</strong> continuous beams are statically indeterminate beams as the reactions at<br />
supports cannot be determined by the use of equations of static equilibrium. There are<br />
more than two unknown.<br />
Types of Loads:<br />
1- Concentrated load assumed to act at a point <strong>and</strong> immediately introduce an<br />
oversimplification since all practical loading system must be applied over a finite<br />
area.<br />
2- Distributed load are assumed to act over part, or all, of the beam <strong>and</strong> in most cases<br />
are assumed to be equally or uniformly distributed.<br />
a- Uniformly distributed.<br />
b- Uniformly varying load.
