Moment Redistribution
A 3-span continuous beam has center-to-center span lengths of 30 ft-0 in. The beam is 20 in. by 28 in.
and all columns are 20 in. by 20 in. In this example, the beam is designed for flexure using moment
redistribution.
Design Data
Materials
x Concrete: normal weight (150 pcf), f’c = 4,000 psi
x Mild reinforcing steel: Grade 60 (fy = 60,000 psi)
Loads
x Superimposed dead load = 3.5 kips/ft
x Live load = 2.75 kips/ft
Moment Redistribution
*Permitted to increase or decrease negative moments by not more than 1000ε t ≤ 20% per ACI 8.4.1.
Redistribution of negative moments is permitted only when ε t ≥ 0.0075 (ACI 8.4.3).

Moment Redistribution
Adjustments of moments
In this example, it is decided to reduce the negative moment at the first interior support and accept the
corresponding increase in the positive moment in the end span. It is also decided that the negative
moments at the exterior supports will not be adjusted.
The following calculations illustrate the adjustment of the moments for Load Case II.
Negative moment at first interior support = −674.8 ft-kips with an allowable redistribution factor = 8.0%
(see above table).
Reduction to moment = −674.8 × 0.08 = −54.0 ft-kips
Adjusted negative moment = −674.8 − (−54.0) = −620.8 ft-kips
Increase in positive moment in end span:
For Load Case II, negative moment at exterior support = −357.8 ft-kips
− 620.8 + (− 357.8)
Midspan ordinate on line from exterior support to interior support = = −489.3 ft-kips
2
2 2
Moment due to uniform load = wu l n / 8 = 9.3 × 28.33 / 8 = 933.0 ft-kips
Adjusted positive moment at midspan = 933.0 + (−489.3) = 443.7 ft-kips
Similar calculations can be performed for the other load cases.
