 INDETERMINATE SYSTEMS

Force Method: Solves for unknown (redundant) forces using

compa<bility equa<ons.

Slope-deflec<on Method: Solves for unknown joint rota<ons and

deflec<ons using equilibrium equa<ons.

Moment Distribu<on Method: Solves the equa<ons by the method of

successive approxima<ons.

1.  Calculate s<ffness factors and distribu<on factors for various

members in a con<nuous beam.
2.  Define unbalanced moment at a rigid joint.
3.  Compute distribu<on moment and carry-over moment.
4.  Derive expressions for distribu<on moment, carry-over moments.
5.  Analyse con<nuous beam by the moment-distribu<on method.

Fixed-end Moment (FEM)

The moments at the “walls” or fixed joints of a loaded member are called fixed-end
moments.
These moments can be determined from the table, depending upon the type of
loading on the member.
 MOMENT DISTDIBUTION METHOD

Member S<ffness Factor

the amount of moment M required to rotate the end A of the beam
θA = 1 rad.
 MOMENT DISTDIBUTION METHOD

Member S<ffness Factor

the amount of moment M required to rotate the end A of the beam
θA = 1 rad.
 MOMENT DISTDIBUTION METHOD

Joint S<ffness Factor

If several members are fixed connected to a joint and each of their far
ends is fixed, then by the principle of superposi<on, the total s<ffness
factor at the joint is the sum of the member s<ffness factors at the
joint.

Carry-over Factor
Moment M at the pin induces a moment of M’ = 1/2 M at the wall.
The carry-over factor represents the frac<on of M that is “carried
over” from the pin to the wall. Hence, in the case of a beam with the
far end fixed, the carry-over factor is 1/2. The plus sign indicates both
moments act in the same direc<on.
