A continuous beam is one which has Correct Answer more than two supports

Explanation:

Continuous beam:

  • It is a beam having more than 2 supports.
  • The intermediate supports are always subjected to bending moment which is negative (Hogging case)
  • If end supports are simply supported, the bending moment at end supports will be zero i.e MA = 0 & MC = 0
  • If end supports are fixed, the bending moment at end supports will not be zero.
  • Continuous beams are those that rest over three or more supports.
