    Question

    Which type of beam, freely supported at two points, has one or both ends extending beyond these supports?

    A.

    Simply supported beam

    B.

    Cantilever beam

    C.

    Fixed beam

    D.

    Overhang beam

    Correct option is D


    An overhang beam is a type of beam that is supported at two points but extends beyond these supports at one or both ends. This extension beyond the supports is known as the overhang, and it can be subjected to different loading conditions compared to beams that do not have any overhangs.
    Simply supported beam: Supported at two points but does not necessarily have overhangs.
    Cantilever beam: Supported at one end only, with the other end extending freely.
    Fixed beam: Both ends are fixed, preventing movement or rotation.
    Therefore, the correct answer is (d) Overhang beam.
