Types of beams
● Cantilever beam: A beam that is fixed at one end and free at the other. It bends downward under load,
creating tension in the upper fibers and compression in the lower fibers.
●
● Fixed beam: A beam that is fixed at both ends, preventing rotation and vertical movement.
●
● Continuous beam: A beam that is supported by more than two points, such as columns or walls.
●
● Simply supported beam: A beam that is supported at both ends, allowing horizontal movement.
●
● Overhanging beam: A combination of a cantilever beam and a simply supported beam.
●
● Truss beam: A beam that is strengthened by adding a cable or rod
The moment of inertia of a rigid body increases as the distance from the neutral axis increases. This is
because the moment of inertia is the ratio of torque applied to the resulting angular acceleration, and it
depends on both the mass and its distribution
I beam - same c/g & same shear center
Why why axis is minor axis z axis is major access. So when we applied load in
minor axis it will impact in a major Axis so in beams zet is major Axis because

ISMB 600 is an Indian Standard Medium Beam (ISMB) with a width of 600 mm and a height of 210 mm. It is
a type of steel beam used in construction projects like bridges and buildings. IS 800 is the code of practice
for general construction in steel structures.
Explanation
● ISMB stands for Indian Standard Medium Beam.
●
● IS 800 is a code of practice for general construction in steel structures.
●
● ISMB beams are used in construction because of their structural strength and adaptability.
●
● The weight of an ISMB beam is determined by its cross-sectional measures, such as its height, flange
width, and web thickness.
Rolled steel sections are structural members made from steel that are rolled into different shapes. Some examples of rolled steel sections include I-sections,
channel sections, T-sections, angle sections, square bars, and flat bars.
Examples of rolled steel sections
I-sections
Also known as steel beams or rolled steel joists, these sections are often used as beams. They have a web and two flanges that are connected by a fillet
weld or cleat angle.
Channel sections
Also known as C-sections, these sections have two equal flanges that are connected to a web at both ends. They are commonly used in steel framed
structures.
T-sections
These sections are made up of a web and flange that are arranged in a T-shape. They are used to form built-up sections in steel roof trusses.
Angle sections
Also known as L-shaped sections, these sections can be equal or unequal in size. They are effective at resisting shear and tension under point loads.
Square bars
These sections have a square cross section and are often used in gates and windows.
Rolled steel sections are used in the construction of steel sheds, industrial buildings, garages, and other structures.
ISA
buckling
Buckling is a failure mode in structural engineering and mechanics that occurs when a structure subjected to compressive stress
experiences sudden lateral deformation. It happens when the compressive load exceeds a critical value, causing the structure to lose
its ability to bear the load in a stable manner.
Key Points About Buckling:
1. Critical Load:
The maximum load a structure can bear before it buckles. It depends on:
○ Material properties (Young's Modulus).
○ Geometry of the structure (length, cross-section).
○ Boundary conditions (fixed, pinned, etc.).
2. Slenderness Ratio:
Structures with higher slenderness ratios (longer and thinner) are more prone to buckling.

This difference in behavior can be explained by the concept of slenderness ratio
• – the taller rod has a higher slenderness ratio, making it more prone to bending,
•while the shorter rod has a lower slenderness ratio, making it more resistant to bending.
•
To understand the concept of slenderness ratio, let’s consider a simple demonstration.
Imagine two thin rods made of the same material, one that is very tall and one that is very
short. When you apply a load to the top of the rods, you will notice that the taller rod is
more likely to bend or buckle, while the shorter rod remains more stable (see the figure
below).
The permissible deflection limit depends on the type of structure, application, and
material, as well as design standards or codes being followed. It ensures structural
integrity and serviceability, preventing excessive deformation that could affect
functionality or safety
•Shear Center Definition (Simple Explanation)
•The shear center is the point on a cross-section where an applied transverse
(shear) load does not cause twisting.
•Key Points:
•If a force is applied at the shear center, the section will only bend and not rotate.
•It depends on the shape of the cross-section.
•For symmetrical sections (like I-beams), the shear center is at the centroid.
•For unsymmetrical sections (like L or channel sections), the shear center is
outside the section.

The ideal study-rest schedule depends on individual focus and energy levels, but common and effective methods include:
1. Pomodoro Technique:
○ Study for 25 minutes, then take a 5-minute break.
○ After 4 cycles, take a longer break of 15–30 minutes.
2. 50/10 Rule:
○ Study for 50 minutes, then take a 10-minute break.
○ Useful for tasks requiring deep focus.
3. 90/20 Rule:
○ Study for 90 minutes (aligned with natural ultradian rhythms), then take a 20-minute break.
○ Ideal for in-depth tasks or long reading sessions.
Tips for Breaks:
● Use breaks to relax your mind with light activities like stretching, walking, or hydrating.
● Avoid distractions like social media during study time.
You can experiment with these methods to find the one that works best for your concentration and productivity.

In mechanics, an equilibrant force is a force which brings a body into mechanical equilibrium.[1] According to Newton's
second law, a body has zero acceleration when the vector sum of all the forces acting upon it is zero:
Therefore, an equilibrant force is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the resultant of all the other forces acting
on a body. The term has been attested since the late 19th century.[2]
In physics, equilibrium force is a set of forces that are balanced, with a net force of zero acting on an object:
•Definition
When the forces acting on an object are exactly balanced in both magnitude and direction, the object is in equilibrium.
•Equilibrant force
The force that brings a group of forces into equilibrium. The equilibrant force has the same magnitude as the resulting force
but opposite direction.
•Newton's second law
When the vector sum of all the forces acting on a body is zero, the body has zero acceleration.
•Equilibrium and motion
When an object is in equilibrium, it will stay at rest if it's already at rest, or it will stay in motion if it's already in motion.
•Equilibrium and torque
In equilibrium, the net force and torque in any particular direction equal zero
