THEORY OF STRUCTURE
■ In terms of rotational fixity, the beam segment will have one of two possible stiffnesses. If there is
complete rotational fixity or resistance to rotation provided at both ends of the beam, the stiffness
will be,
■ However, if one end of the beam is pinned and therefore has no resistance to rotation at that end,
the beam stiffness will be,
Bending Stiffness Factor, Distribution Factor and Carry Over Factor?
■ We can more readily summaries the possible fixities and their associated stiffnesses graphically
Calculate the internal moment at supports for continuous beams subjected to point loads,
distributed loads and settlement using moment distribution method. Given settlement at joint C is
10mm, E= 210GPa, I=180 x 10-6 m4. Draw the SFD and BMD of the beam.

Calculate the internal moment at supports for continuous beams subjected to point loads,
distributed loads and settlement using moment distribution method. Given settlement at joint B is
5mm, E= 210GPa, I=400 x 10-6 m4. Draw the SFD and BMD of the beam.
