A restrained beam having a span of 5 m is loaded with a distributed load that varies from 12kN/m on the right support to 14kN/m on the left support. A concentrated load of 8kN is located directly on the left support. Assume El is constant. Determine the deflection at mid-span in terms of EI using Virtual Work Method.
