ABOUT TYPES OF LOADS ON BEAM

 WHAT ARE TYPES OF LODS ON BEAM?

 The different types of loads acting on the beam are as follows.

  1. Point Load 

     A point load is a load that is considered as applied on a point. In reality, it is applied to a small area.

  2. Uniformly Distributed Load :

      A uniformly distributed load is a load that is spread on some length of the beam such that its intensity is constant throughout its length. It is expressed as force per unit length.

  3. Varying Distributed Load :

       Varying distributed load is a load that is spread on some length of the beam such that its intensity in varying linearly throughout its length.

  4. Moment or Couple :

      A beam may also be subjected to a moment or couple at some point.
