Design and detailing of various types of beam by using software

Abstract

A beam is a structural element that is capable of withstanding load primarily by resisting bending. The bending force induced into the material of the beam as a result of the external loads own weight span and external reactions of these loads is called a bending moment. Beams are traditionally descriptions of a building or civil engineering structural elements but smaller structure such as a truck or automobile frames machine frame and other mechanical or structural systems contains beams structures that are designed and analysed similarly. This project deals with design of various types of beam using ETABS software and detailing by using AutoCAD software along with other analytical details of beam under different type of loadings.
