Problem 725 | Propped beam with partially restrained wall and settling simple support

$EI ~ \theta = \frac{1}{48}w_oL^3$

$L(EI ~ \theta) = \frac{1}{48}w_oL^4$
 

$t_{A/B} = L ~ \theta - \delta$

$EI ~ t_{A/B} = L(EI ~ \theta) - EI ~ \delta$

$\frac{1}{3}RL^3 = \frac{7}{48}w_oL^4 - EI ~ \delta$

$R = \dfrac{7}{16}w_oL - \dfrac{3EI ~ \delta}{L^3}$
 

The quantity   $\frac{7}{16} w_oL$   is the simple reaction when there is no settlement   $\delta$   at the propped support, thus the reaction   $R$   decreased by   $3EI\delta / L^3$.
