 Slope Deflection Method (frame analysis-no sideway)
Example 1

1. Determine the moments of each joint of the frame shown in following figure.

Solution :

Compute fixed end moments

WL2 5(24)(8)2 WL2 5(24)(8)2

(FEM )BC : 80kNm (FEM )CB : 80kNm
96 96 96 96

Note that A = 0 D = 0 and AB= BC= CD=0, since no sidesway will occur.
