Loaded means loaded downwards. In that case, upper fibres will be compressed while lower will be expanded. Hence maximum compressive stress will be developed in the top layer.

Right @Sadashiva.

When we visualise the loading pattern, the bottom side should be in compressive mode.

The rectangular beam is loaded transversely: top fibre.

The rectangular beam is loaded longitudinally: every cross-section.

For simply supported beam top fibre in compression.

For cantilever bottom fibre in compression.
