 Definition of a Beam
A beam is a bar subject to forces
or couples that lie in a plane
containing the longitudinal
section of the bar. According to
determinacy, a beam may be
determinate or indeterminate.

Statically Determinate Beams

Statically determinate beams are
those beams in which the
reactions of the supports may be
determined by the use of the
equations of static equilibrium.
The beams shown below are
examples of statically
determinate beams.
Statically Indeterminate Beams
If the number of reactions exerted
upon a beam exceeds the number of
equations in static equilibrium, the
beam is said to be statically
indeterminate. In order to solve the
reactions of the beam, the static
equations must be supplemented by
equations based upon the elastic
deformations of the beam.

The degree of indeterminacy is taken

as the difference between the umber
of reactions to the number of
equations in static equilibrium that
can be applied. In the case of the
propped beam shown, there are three
reactions R1, R2, and M and only two
equations (M = 0 and Fv= 0) can be
applied, thus the beam is
indeterminate to the first degree (3 - 2
= 1).
Types of Loading
Loads applied to the beam may consist of a concentrated load (load
applied at a point), uniform load, uniformly varying load, or an applied
couple or moment. These loads are shown in the following figures.
