 INTRODUCTION

● This method was developed by axel bendexon in German in 1914.

● This method is appliocable to all types of statically indeterminate
beams & frames and in this method , we solve for unknown joint
rotations, which are expressed in terms of the applied loads and the
bending moments.
 DEFINITION
SLOPE
The slope of the beam at any section is
defined as the angle (in radians)of
inclination of the tangent drawn at that
section to the axis in its deflected position
after loading, measured w.r.t the
undeformed axis.
DEFLECTION
The vertical distance in transverse
direction between positions of axis
before and after loading at the section
of the beam, is defined as the deflection
of beam at that section.

●
BEAMS
As load is applied on a beam, it deflects.
● The deflection can be observed and measured directly.
● Strength and stiffness- design criteria for beams.
● Strength criteria – SF & BM
● Stiffness criteria- deflection

— ROTATIONS: Clockwise join rotations are considered

as negative.

_ END MOMENTS: Clockwise end moments are

considered as positive.
SLOPE DEFLECTION EQUATION:
 General slope-deflection equations:

, - Fixed moments at A and B respectively due to the given loading.

- Slopes at A and B respectively.

- Sinking of support A with respect to B.

3. Establish simultaneous equations with

members meeting at a joint should be equal
to zero.
