What do the external loadings on a beam create?

Expert Solution
Step 1

To define:

what does the external loading create on a beam

Beam:

beam is defined as any structural member subjected to transverse loading. Depending on the types of support beams are classified such as:

1.  Simply supported Beam

External Loading:

The forces/ moments externally applied to the boundary of a structure called as external loads.

This includes the reaction forces at the joint require to restrain the structure.

The loads can be a point load, uniformly distributed load, uniformly varying load, a moment or varying moment.
