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.
