Different Types Of Beams In Civil Engineering‎ Beams are usually horizontal structural members that carry or transfer loads levelly by their length to the supports wherein the loads are generally set into vertical forces. Beams are utilized for opposing bending moments, shear forces and vertical loads. Various types of beams can be categorized according to the type of support. The 4 distinct types of beams are: Simply Supported Beam: In case the beam ends are formed to rest directly or freely on supports beam, it is known as a simple or freely supported beam. Fixed Beam: In case a beam is set or fixed at both ends, it is known as fixed beam or built-in beam. Cantilever Beam: In case one end is free end and the beam is fixed at other end, it is known as cantilever beam. Continuously Supported Beam: In case over 2 supports are offered to the beam, it is known as continuously supported beam.

Here is a list of mild steel bars weight. Diameter of bars in millimeter Weight of bars in kilogram 6 mm0.22 kg/meter10 mm0.62 kg/meter12 mm0.89 kg/meter16 mm1.58 kg/meter20 mm2.469 kg/meter25 mm3.858 kg/meter Weight of steel bars formula To calculate weight of steel bars, there is a formula used to calculate weight. W=(D^2 x L)/162 In the above formula: D is in millimeter. L is the total length of steel bars of which weight is to be calculated. For example: if we have to calculate the weight of 10 mm steel bars, then we will proceed as follow: W=10^2/ 162 W=0.617 kg/meter In this way we will get steel bars weight per meter. After that multiply unit weight with the total length of steel bars of which weight is to be calculated.
