Concentrated load:

  • Load that is applied to a relatively small area compared with the size of the loaded member. 

Uniformly distributed load:

  • A uniformly distributed load is a load that is distributed or spread across the whole region of an element such as a beam or slab.
  • In other words, the magnitude of the load remains uniform throughout the whole element.
  • The weight of a beam is an example of a uniformly distributed load.

Linearly varying load:

  • A linearly varying load is one which is spread over the beam in such a manner that rate of loading varies from each point along the beam, in which load is zero at one end and increase uniformly to the other end.
  • This type of load is known as triangular load.

Varying load: 

  • Load is varied in such a manner that it is maximum at some point and minimum at other point 
  • It is not varied uniformly.
