Could you give me explanation why bending moment at fixed support equal wL^2/12?

Answer

Not all moments at fixed support equals to wl^2/12.

For instance,

(A) moment at fixed end of cantilever subjected to uniform load is wl^2/2

(B) moment at fixed end of a propped cantilever subjected to uniform load is wl^2/8

The value wl^2/12 is the bending moment at the support of beam fixed at both ends and subject to uniform load.

I have hand written the derivation of this value for your reference.
