    This document discusses methods for calculating deflection in beams, including direct integration, Macaulay's method, moment-area method, and conjugate beam method. It focuses on explaining the moment-area method, which is a graphical approach based on Mohr's theorems. The two theorems state that the slope of a beam at any point is proportional to the moment at that point, and the deflection of a beam at any point is proportional to the area under the moment diagram from that point to the fixed end. The document provides examples of using the moment-area method to calculate deflections in cantilever and simply supported beams under various load conditions.

    MOMENT-AREA METHODS
    Introduction:
    In the last chapters, we have discussed the slope and deflection of various types of beams and
    cantilevers. But the derivations of the relations are difficult and lengthy. But in this chapter, we
    shall discuss a graphical method for the slope and deflection of beams and cantilevers. This
    method is simple and enables us quicker solutions. It is popularly known as moment area
    method and is based on Mohr’s theorems which are stated below
    Mohr’s Theorems
    The deflection of beams and cantilevers by moment area method is based on the following two
    theorems, which were stated by Mohr.
