Calculate the slope at free end of a cantilever beam of length l = 5 m subjected to a uniformly varying load with intensity varying from 0 kN/m (at B) to 20 kN/m (at A) as shown in figure. Consider that the flexural rigidity (EI) of the beam as constant throughout its length.

Explanation

SFD AND BMD OF CANTILEVER BEAM carrying UVL.

slope = area of BM/EI

deflection = area of bending moment * centroid distance / EI

Area of 3 degree parabola = bh/4

Given

L = 5m

Wo = 20 kN/m

Calculation

b = 5 , h = WoL2/6 = (20 x 52)/6 = 83.33 KNm

Area of 3 degree parabola = bh/4  = (5 x 83.33)/4 = 104.162

slope = (area of BM)/EI

slopeB = 104.162/EI (Ans)
