    Ahmed Hassan
    This document describes an experiment to find the reactions on a simply supported beam. It provides background on beam theory, including the types of stresses beams experience and different types of beams. The experiment uses a simply supported beam apparatus with three increasing loads placed at various distances along the beam. The reactions are calculated theoretically and measured practically, and the values are recorded in a table. The objective is to find the beam reactions both theoretically and practically in order to analyze beam behavior under loads.

    Objective:

    EXPERIMENT # 09

    14-ME-019

    To find the reactions on simply supported beam.

    Apparatus:
    Simply Supported Beam Apparatus

    Diagram:

    Explanation:
    Beams:
    A beam is a structural element that is capable of withstanding load
    primarily by resisting bending.
    The bending force induced into the material of the beam as a result
    of the external loads, own weight, span and external reactions to these loads is
    called a bending moment.

    Stresses in Beams:
    Internally, beams experience compressive, tensile and shear
    stresses as a result of the loads applied to them. Typically, under gravity
    loads, the original length of the beam is slightly reduced to enclose a
    smaller radius arc at the top of the beam, resulting in compression, while
    the same original beam length at the bottom of the beam is slightly
    stretched to enclose a larger radius arc, and so is under tension.
    The same original length of the middle of the beam, generally
    halfway between the top and bottom, is the same as the radial arc of
    bending, and so it is under neither compression nor tension, and defines the
    neutral axis.

    Types Of Beams:

    There are following types of beams:


    1. Simply Supported Beam:
    The Beam which is supported by to supports at its ends.

    2. Cantilever Beam:
    The beam which is fixed on one end and the other end is freely
    hung.

    3. Fixed Beam:
    The beam which is fixed on both ends.

    4. Continuous Beam:
    The beam which is supported on more than two supports.

    5. Over Hanging Beam


    The beam which is supported on the corner on one end and the
    other end is hanging after the support.
    6. Double Hanging Beam:
    The beam which is supported by two supports but the ends are
    hung freely.

    7. Trussed Beam:
    The beam which are joined together to form a truss.
