The positive moment at the center of the span will decrease, because the beam will deflect upward at that point.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a diagram to illustrate the effect of sinking an intermediate support:<\/p>\n<p>[Diagram of a continuous beam with an intermediate support that has sunk]<\/p>\n<p>The red arrows show the direction of the bending moments in the beam.
