For beam the load applied always downward, so the answer is top player.

Some books mention top layer and some books mention bottom layer. I am confusing.

If the beam is loaded in zagging then top layer is in compression and bottom layer is in tension and if it is in hogging then vica versa.

The correct answer should be (A).

Vicky said:   9 years ago
The answer is A.

It's just like turning the pages in a book, where the bottom layer compresses and the top layer expands.

Hasiba said:   9 years ago
I think, option A is the answer.

Krishna said:   9 years ago
The correct answer is option A.

I think the answer for the maximum compressive stress is developed on the top layer of the beam.
