1. Timber Beam

Uses of Timber Beam

• Timber beams are generally used in the olden days for the construction of structures.
• Timber beams have widely used in the region where wooden available in large quantity.

2. Concrete Beam

Uses of Concrete Beam

• Concrete beams are used to carry the vertical as well as horizontal loads. Concrete beams have the ability to resist high compressive loads.
• Concrete beams used in the construction of bridges, foundations, and various structures.

3. Composite Beam

Uses of Composite Beam

• Composite beams have used the construction of frame bridges.
• The composite steel and concrete beams are more widely used in which the Steel resist tensile stresses and the concrete resists compressive stresses.

4. Steel Beam

Uses of Steel Beam

• The steel beams are generally used in the construction of steel structures, workshops, Steel roofs, trusses, and bridges, etc.

5. Simply Supported Beam

Uses of Simply Supported Beam

• Simply supported beams are widely used in the construction of residential buildings.

6. Continuous Beam

Uses of Continuous Beam

• The continuous beam is generally used in the construction of large span bridges whose length is too long.
• Continuous beams are also used while constructing long span slab and structures which has more than two supports in a continuous manner.

7. Fixed Beam

Uses of Fixed Beam

• The Fixed beams are used in the construction of trusses.

8. Cantilever Beam

Uses of Cantilever Beam

• Cantilever beams are used in the construction of balconies and Cantilever slabs etc.

9. Overhanging Beam

Uses of Overhanging Beam

• An overhanging beam is used where it is not practical to provide a support to the beam at one end.
• You will frequently encounter overhanging beams in a floor beam which extends beyond the exterior wall of a building to support a balcony.
• It is also used to support roof extensions as in the picture below.

10. Double Overhanging Beam

11. Straight Beam

Uses of Straight Beam

• Beams are the horizontal members used to support vertically applied loads across an opening.
• In a more general sense, they are structural members that external loads tend to bend, or curve.

12. Curved Beam

Uses of Curved Beam

• The curved beam is used for the construction of decorative structures or buildings.

13. Tapered Beam

Uses of Tapered Beam

• Tapered beam framing can be used to create offices, retail or other commercial space as well as warehouses up to 120 feet wide.
• Tapered rafter beams are paired with straight wall columns, simplifying the installation of straight interior walls.

14. Prestressed Concrete Beam

Uses of Prestressed Concrete Beam

• It is now commonly used for floor beams, piles and railways sleepers, as well as structures such as bridges, water tanks, roofs and runways.
• Generally, prestressed concrete is not necessary for columns and walls, however, it can be used economically for tall columns and high retaining walls with high bending stresses.

15. Precast Concrete Beam

Uses of Precast Concrete Beam

• Precast concrete beams are generally used where fast construction is required so that precast concrete beams are used.

16. In-Situ Cast Beam

Uses of In-Situ Cast Beams

• Cast in situ concrete is appropriate for all types of basement construction. It is a common form of basement construction for residential use, due to its relatively simple application, adaptability, and cost.

17. Statically Determinate Beam

Uses of Statically Determinate Beam

• Simply supported beams, cantilever beams, single and double overhanging beams, three-hinged arches, etc.

18. Statically Indeterminate Beam

Uses of Statically Indeterminate Beams

• Statically indeterminate structures are fixed beams, continuous beams, fixed arches, two hinged arches, portals, multistoried frames, etc.

19. I Section Beam

Uses of I Section Beam

• They are often used as critical support trusses, or the main framework, in buildings. Steel I beams ensure a structure's integrity with relentless strength and support.

20. T Section Beam

Uses of T Section Beam

• This types of beams are widely used in the construction of steel structures.
