FIXED BEAMS IN BENDING
INTRODUCTION
Fixed or built-in beams are commonly used in building construction because they possess high rigidity in comparison to simply supported beams. When a simply supported beam of length, L, and flexural rigidity, EI, is subjected to a central concentrated load W, the maximum bending moment (BM) in beam is (WL/4), maximum deflection in beam is WI3/48EI, and maximum slope in beam is ±WL2/16EI but if the ends of the same beam are fixed (i.e.
built in walls), maximum bending moment is reduced to (WL/8), maximum deflection is reduced to WL3/192EI, and maximum slope is reduced to ±WL2/32EI. If the allowable bending stress for the fixed beam is taken to be
the same as for simply supported beam, then the load carrying capacity of the fixed beam is greatly improved. The overall reduction in bending moment, deflection, and slope in the fixed beam is due to the effect of fixing couples provided by the wall in keeping the slope and deflection at the ends to be zero. During building construction, the beams are cast along with the columns using reinforced cement concrete.

FIXED BEAM−BENDING MOMENT DIAGRAM
A fixed beam can be considered as equivalent to a simply supported beam plus a beam of the same length, same material, same section subjected to end moments as shown in Figure 1 (a), (b) and (c).
Figure 1 Fixed beam
MD
A beam ABCD, of length L, fixed at ends A and D, carries loads W1 and W2 at points B and C, respectively, is equivalent to a simply supported beam of length L, simply supported at ends A and D, carrying loads W1 and W2 at B and C, respectively, plus a beam AD of length L, subjected to end moments MA and MD. Considering the beam as simply supported (SS) beam, bending moment diagram can be drawn as shown in Figure 2 (a). Figure 2 (b) shows the bending moment diagram of beam due to end moments. Due to end couples, there is convexity in beam, producing negative bending moment throughout.

MD
Due to loads and simple supports at ends, there is concavity in the beam producing positive bending moment throughout in the beam. Superimposing the two bending moment diagrams, we get the bending moment diagram for fixed beam as shown in Figure 2 (c), in which P1 and P2 are points of contraflexure. In the combined bending moment diagram there are positive bending moments and negative bending moments. At P1 and P2 bending moment changes sign from negative to positive and from positive to negative as shown.

FIXED BEAM WITH A CONCENTRATED LOAD AT CENTER
Consider a fixed beam AB of length L, fixed at both ends A and B, carrying a point load W at its center as shown in Figure 4. It is equivalent to a simply supported beam AB with central load W and a beam AB subjected to end moments MA and MB. Since the beam is symmetrically loaded, end moments will be equal, i.e. MA = MB

The maximum bending moment in SS diagram is (WL/4) but when it is fixed at both the ends, maximum bending moment is reduced to 50%, i.e. (WL/8). Now let us calculate the maximum deflection in a fixed beam. Again consider a fixed beam AB of length L fixed at both the ends, load at centre is W as shown in Figure 5, reactions at ends.

where C1 is constant of integration. (Term in bracket is to be omitted) At end A,
because end is fixed. So, integration constant, C1 = 0 Now integrating the above equation again, we get
where C2 is another constant of integration. At end A, x = 0, deflection, y = 0, because end is fixed. So, 0 = 0 + 0 − omitted term + C2, using Macaulay’s method, constant C2 = 0.
Finally, the equation for deflection is
Maximum deflection will occur at centre, i.e. at
Putting this value of x,

Example A beam of length L = 6 m, fixed at both the ends, carries a concentrated load of 30 kN at its centre. If EI = 7,000 kNm2 for the beam, determine the fixing couple at ends and maximum deflection in the beam.
FIXED BEAM WITH UNIFORMLY DISTRIBUTED LOAD THROUGHOUT ITS LENGTH
Consider a beam AB, of length L fixed at both the ends A and B, subjected to a uniformly distributed load of intensity w per unit length, throughout the length of the beam as shown in Figure 6 (a). It is equivalent to a SS beam of length L, subjected to udl, w throughout its length and a beam AB, subjected to end moments MA and MB as shown in Figure 6 (b) and (c). Since the beam is symmetrically loaded, end moments MA = MB

The resultant bending moment diagram for fixed beam is shown in Figure 30 (d), in which P1 and P2 are points of contraflexure. The locations of P1 and P2 can be determined.

Now let’s consider any section X−X at a distance of x from end A as shown in Figure 7. Bending moment at section XX is

, so constant C1 = 0.
Integrating this equation again, we get
At end A, x = 0, deflection y = 0, so constant, C2 = 0 Finally, we have
Maximum deflection in the beam will occur

Note that the deflection is reduced to only 20% of the deflection when the
beam is simply supported at ends and maximum bending moment in
beam is also reduced to from (in SS beam).
Example A beam with a 6 m span has its ends built in and carries a uniformly distributed load of 4 kN/m throughout its length. Find the (i) end moments, (ii) bending moment at the centre, and (iii) maximum deflection in the beam for E = 210 GPa, I = 4,800 cm4.
FIXED BEAM WITH AN ECCENTRIC LOAD For this problem it is very much time consuming to draw a and a′ BM diagrams and then to determine support reactions and moments. Let us take a fixed beam AB, of length L fixed at both the ends A and B and carrying an eccentric load W at C, at a distance of a from end A, Figure 32. Say reactions at A and B are RA and RB and support moments at A and B are MA and MB respectively. There are four boundary conditions at two ends of fixed beam, and we can determine four unknowns RA, RB, MA, and MB. Consider a section X−X at a distance of x from end A, in portion CB of the beam, bending moment at section XX is M = MA + RA x − W (x − a)

A beam 8 m long, fixed at both the ends carries a vertical load of 4 kN at a

Example A fixed beam AB of length 6 m carries a uniformly distributed load (udl) of intensity w=6 kN/m over a length AC = 2 m and a point load of 6 kN at point D at a distance of 4 m from A. Using double integration method, determine support reactions, support moments, and draw BM diagram for the beam. What is the deflection at point D of the beam if EI = 1,400 kNm2.
There are unknown reactions RA, RB at ends and unknown moments MA, MB as shown. In this problem it is convenient if we take origin at B and x positive towards left, and section XX in portion CA (because udl is in portion CA).

To determine RB, MB, let us consider end A where x = 6 m, both slope and

0 = 6MB + 18RB − 3 × 42 − 8
or
0 = 6MB + 18RB − 56 0 = 18MB + 36RB − 68
or MB + 3RB = 9.333 MB + 2RB = 3.777
From these equations, reaction RB is obtained as, RB = 5.556kN
Total load on beam = 6 × 2 + 6 = 18 kN
Reaction, RA = 18 − 5.556 = 12.444 kN
Moment, MB = 9.333 − 3RB = 9.333 − 3 × 5.556

The resultant bending moment diagram for fixed beam is obtained as seen in the figure.
EFFECT OF SINKING OF A SUPPORT IN A FIXED BEAM During the construction of a building or a structure, due to the defect in material or in workmanship, one end of a fixed beam may sink by some amount. This type of sinking is common and may cause unintentional bending moment on the beam. Let us consider that one end of the fixed beam, i.e. support B, sinks by an amount δ, as shown in Figure 10 (a), say length of beam is L. Level of support B is below the level of support A by δ. Obviously there is no rate of loading on beam, but due to vertical pressure at B, sinking has occurred, therefore,
Figure 10 (a) Sinking of a support
Integrating it, we get
Say at x = 0, Reaction = RA, then
Integrating this equation, we get
(another constant of integration)
Say at A, x = 0, bending moment is MA, so
MA = 0 + C2 and Constant, C2 = MA
Integrating this we get (constant of integration)
But slope is zero at fixed end, A, i.e. at x = 0
0 = 0 + 0 + C3 so Constant of integration, C3 = 0
So,
Integrating this we get
At x = 0, deflection, y = 0, 0 = 0 + 0 + C4 so Constant of integration, C4 = 0
(constant of integration)
Finally, we have
At end B, x = L, slope, , deflection, y = − δ
Putting these values in and
From these two equations
For equilibrium, RA = − RB or

Figures 10 (b) and (c) show the SF and BM diagrams of a fixed beam, whose
one support has sunk. If a fixed beam of length L, carrying concentrated central
load W, sinks by an amount δ at right hand support, then support moments will
be now at one end to at the other end.

EFFECT OF ROTATION OF A SUPPORT IN A FIXED BEAM Due to defective materials or defective construction, if one end of the fixed beam rotates (instead of keeping the slope unchanged), it causes development of support moments. Consider a beam AB, fixed at both ends but support B rotates by an angle i′B as shown in Figure 11. In this case:
