Which are the 3 types of Design Methods?

A number of different design methods have been used for reinforced concrete construction. The three most common are working-stress design, ultimate strength design, and strength design method.
Working-Stress Design: This method assumes that concrete and steel behave as linear-elastic materials and that their stresses are directly proportional to the strains.
Ultimate Strength Design: utilizes reserves of strength resulting from a more efficient distribution of stresses allowed by plastic strains in the concrete and reinforcing steel, and at times it indicates the working stress method to be very conservative.
Strength Design Method: a design method that requires service loads to be multiplied by load factors and computed nominal strengths to be multiplied by strength reduction factors.

What are 3 types of Beam?

Concrete beams may be considered to be of three principal types
(1) rectangular beams with tensile reinforcing
(2) T-beams with tensile reinforcing
(3) beams with tensile and compressive reinforcing
