Types of Support in civil engineering

Normally Types of support used in construction are…

Simply Support is that type of support on which member-only rest without any bonding

That type of support only resists vertical force not horizontal and moment force…

for example:-

brick resting on two brick

Bridge construction is the best application on simply support

Fix Support is also known as a rigid support

That type of support carried horizontal, vertical, and also moment force…

In structural analysis has three unknowns

for example:-
beam and column in RCC work

That type of support carried horizontal and vertical force but not moment force…

for example:-
Door and windows connection with wall or frame

That type of support carried vertical force only but not horizontal and moment force…
