 INTRODUCTION
The method of consistent deformation is also known as
the ‘General Force method.’ The method is credited to
clerk Maxwell (1864), Otto Mohr (1874) and Muller-
Breslan (1886). The method is based on the deflection
computations and sometimes referred to as the Maxwell-
Mohr method,
The structure obtained by replacing the redundant
reactions by unknown forces or moments is known as a
basic determinate structure.

STATICALLY INDETERMINATE BEAMS
The statically determinate beam is analysed by the
method of consistent deformation by first obtaining a
basic determinate structure.
The process of analysed consists of :
 Removing enough redundant so as to make the
structure determinate.
 Drawing M / EI diagram for the basic determinate
structure,
 Drawing conjugate beam considering M / EI diagram
as a loading.
4
 Computing the deflection (ΔB) at the point, say B,
where the redundant is removed.
 Applying unit load at the point of redundant and
computing deflection (δBB).
ΔB + VB . δBB = 0 VB
= - (ΔB / δBB)

ΔB = Deflection at B due to External Loading
= B.M. at B in Conjugate Beam (Fig. D)
= [- (1 / 2) x 3 x (75 / EI)] x [3 + (2 / 3) x 3]
= - (562.5 / EI)

By Statics,
VA = Total vertical load – VB
= 50 – 13.88
= 36.12 kN (↑)

Moments,
MB = 0
MC = (13.88 x 3)
= 41.64 kN.m
MA = (13.88 x 6) – (50 x 3)
= - 66.72 kN.m
