Assignment 6

(Slope-deflection method)
Problem 1) A continuous beam ABC, shown below, is fixed at one end A and is supported by a
shear hinge C at the other end. An intermediate support B settles down by an amount of 5 mm
due to differential support settlement. Evaluate the end moments by the Slope-deflection method
and then draw the bending moment diagram. Draw the deflected shape as well. You may assume
the flexural rigidity to be 200000 kN-m2.
