Introduction
An equation of three moment s establishes the relationship between the bending moments at
three successive supports of the beam.
Condition two use these method:
1- The curve of the beam is continuous (the beam has no intermediate hinges)
2- The moment of inertia is constant within a single span
The advantage of these equation:
1- No need to drawing the B.M.Ds due to unit values of redundant
2- determining the displacement coefficients in the superposition equations
