    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}​​
