This model depicts an inclined continuous beam, commonly known as a Gerber beam, featuring alternating bays with hinges and extended overhanging ends. It illustrates a practical application of hinges to allow specific rotational movements that can help in managing torsional stresses. The model highlights engineering solutions where beam sections may require different rotational constraints for optimal structural performance. With its overhanging design, the beam adapts to both aesthetics and fundamental structural requirements.
