rest on supports at its end. Girder is the term applied to a beam that
supports one or more smaller beam.
b) Continuous Beam
c) Semi-Continuous Beam
Simple Beam: Refers to the beam having a single span supported at its end
without a restraint at the support. Simple beam is sometimes called as
simply supported beam. Restraint means a rigid connection or anchorage at
the support.
The occurrence of various crack patterns in the building mostly takes place
during construction and/or after completion. A building component develops
cracks whenever the stress in the components exceeds its strength. Stress in
the building component is caused by externally applied forces/loads.

Usually, beams are subjected to torsion along with bending moment and
shear force. Bending moment & shear force occurs as loads acts normal to
the plane of bending. However, loads away from the bending plane will cause
torsional movement.

The diagonal mode of failure by sliding along the critical cracks is known as a
failure by sliding and usually appears at the edge of the supports of the beam.
These types of concrete cracks appear if concrete gets disturbed in a fresh
state.
Cracks endeavour safety of home and ultimately may put you in stress
in long term.
