By invoking the uniform-approximation method in combination with the pseudo-reduction technique, a hierarchy of beam theories of different orders of approximation is established. The first-order approximation coincides with the classical Euler-Bernoulli beam theory, whereas the second-order approximation delivers a Timoshenko-type of shear-deformable beam theory. Differences and implications are discussed UR - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PHqP4siunitZ8sQ9abPvYW233WGhC4xY/view?usp=drivesdk ER -
