STNotes 12 A

The document outlines the problem of finding the deflection at midspan of a non-prismatic beam subjected to a uniform load. It provides a detailed solution involving calculations of reactions, moments, and integrals across different segments of the beam. The final expression for deflection is derived through integration of moment equations across the segments.
