SLOPE-DEFLECTION METHOD
 SLOPE-DEFLECTION METHOD

Slope-deflec*on method is an classical structural analysis technique

Force method: Solve for unknown (redundant) forces using

compa*bility equa*ons.

Slope-deflec*on method: Solve for unknown joint rota*ons and

deflec*ons using equilibrium equa*ons.

•  Slope-deflec*on eqn
•  If the end moments due to each disp & loadings are
added together, the resultant moments at the ends
can be wriFen as:

⎛ I ⎞⎡ ⎛ Δ ⎞⎤
M AB = 2E ⎜ ⎟⎢2θ A + θ B − 3⎜ ⎟⎥ + FEM AB = 0
⎝ L ⎠⎣ ⎝ L ⎠⎦

⎝ L ⎠⎣ ⎝ L ⎠⎦

M N = 2Ek [ 2θ N + θ F − 3ψ ] + FEM N = 0

M N = internal moment at the near end of the span

E, k = modulus of elasticity & span stiffness

θ N , θ F = near and far end slopes or angular disp of the span at the supports

ψ = span rotation of its cord due to a linear disp

FEM N = fixed end moment at the near end support

•  Slope-deflec*on eqn (cont’d)

•  (FEM)AB = (FEM)BA since there is no load on
span AB
•  Since A & C are fixed support, θA = θC =0
•  Since the supports do not seFle nor are they
displaced up or down, ψAB = ψBC = 0
