Civil Engineering > GATE 2023 SET-2 > Deflection of Beams
When a simply-supported elastic beam of span L and flexural rigidity El (E is the modulus of elasticity and l is the moment of inertia of the section) is loaded with a uniformly distributed load w per unit length, the deflection at the mid-span is
Δ_0 = (5/384)(wL^4)/(EI)
. If the load on one half of the span is now removed, the mid-span deflection
A
reduces to Δ_0/2
B
reduces to a value less than Δ_0/2
C
reduces to a value greater than Δ_0/2
D
remains unchanged at Δ_0

Correct : c
