The maximum _________ stresses occur at top most fibre of a simply supported beam.

The maximum _________ stresses occur at top most fibre of a simply supported beam. Correct Answer Compressive

As bending stress distribution is not uniform over the section in simply supported beams, the maximum compressive stress lies above the neutral axis. Obviously, top most fibre of beam. The maximum tensile stress occurs at bottom most fibre.
