continuous beams with equal loads and spans
Explanation:
Scott's civil engineering dictionary defines continuous beams as follows:

a beam of several spans in the same straight line joined together so effectively that a known load on one span will produce an effect on the others which can be calculated. A continuous beam generally has at least three supports. This sort of continuity is economical and safe where the supports are unlikely to settle
