Question:

For the fixed-fixed beam subjected to the uniform load w shown in Figure P4-14. determine the midspan deflection and the reactions. Draw the shear force and bending moment diagrams. The middle section of the beam has a bending stiffness of 2EI; the other sections have bending stiffnesses of EI.
