MOMENT –AREA METHOD

What is moment area method?

•This is one of the easiest methods for finding deflection and slope of a
beam with the help of area of bending moment of the beam, which is
loaded with some load or any moment at any point or on whole span.
PROOF

------------(1)
For finding
slope
For deflection
 Now We get

• Where M.ds=area of b.m. diagram

M.x.ds=moment of area of b.m. diagram
Theorem 1
 Theorem 2

These theorem is also known as Mohr’s theorem.
