simply supported, cantilever, propped, over hang, fixed and continuous beams
(only concept). Types of loads (dead load, live load, snow load, wind load
seismic load as per IS Codes etc) and types of loading (point, uniformly
distributed and uniformly varying loads)

Moment and shear force diagrams for cantilever, simply supported and
overhanging beams subjected to concentrated, uniformly distributed and
varying loads Relationship between load, shear force and bending moment,
point of maximum bending moment, and point of contraflexure.
