If it is cantilever beam answer would be a bottom later.
If it is SS Beam then the top layer.

The answer which is given that is only true for when load is applied transversely downward.

@Navaj.

If so, why there is compressive stress at the bottom in case of cantilever beam?

Dr Ravi said:   8 years ago
Answer is correct if it is a cantilever. It is wrong if the beam is simply supported.

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

Raja said:   5 years ago
If the beam is cantilever then compressive stress developer at the bottom layer.

During sagging compression will take place at the top layer correct answer is A.

Maximum tensile stress is developed at bottom fibre due to elongation of fibre.

Please explain it, how the compressive stress developed in the bottom layer?

Naidu said:   6 years ago
Tensile force and tensile stressed are different and opposite to each other.
