What is an inverted beam??

Answer Posted / prasad patil

Technically speaking, in inverted beam the top reinforcement
is heavier than bottom reinforcement as the top
reinforcement is in tension & bottom reinforcement is in
compression, however in normal beam the loading conditions
are reverse.
Generally inverted beam is used in cantilever slabs & for
special architectural effects.
