Question

A propped cantilever beam of span L when loaded with a uniformly distributed load of intensity p will have a bending moment M at the fixed end, where M is:

A.

wL212\frac {wL²} {12}

B.

wL216\frac {wL²} {16}

C.

wL224\frac {wL²} {24}

D.

wL28\frac {wL²} {8}

Correct option is D

For a propped cantilever beam of span L subjected to a uniformly distributed load
w (or p) over the entire length:
The structure is statically indeterminate to degree 1.
Using compatibility (zero deflection at the prop) and superposition, the bending moment at the fixed end is obtained as:
Mfixed=wL28M_{\text{fixed}} = \frac{wL^{2}}{8}​​
