A.Stronger and much stiffer than simple beams
B.Weaker and less stiffer than simple beams
C.Subjected to excessive shear strain
D.Withstanding double the maximum bending moment on simple beams
E.None of the above
Continuous beams are Stronger and much stiffer than simple beams.
A continuous beam is a statically indeterminate multi-span beam on hinged support. The end spans may be cantilever, may be freely supported or fixed supported. At least one of the supports of a continuous beam must be able to develop a reaction along the beam axis.
