Slope-deflection equations
Using the Principle of Supposition, we can first analyse
the beam with the load applied and with the ends fully-fixed
Then we can add the effects of the beam with no applied
loading, but with end deflections and rotations

Slope-deflection equations
The total moments can be obtained by adding the
fixed-end moments and the displacement moments.
MAB = MFAB + MDAB
MBA = MFBA + MDBA
We have already studied how to determine fixed-end
moments.
The displacement moments can now be found
by deriving slope-deflection equations.

These are the slope-deflection equations which can be
used to relate the end deflection and rotations of a beam

Example problem 1:
Now recall that:
and
MBA + MBC = 0
MCB = 0
Example problem 1:
980 B + 210 C = -0.0267
210 B + 420 C = 0.0267
Solving the simultaneous equations gives
B = -45.7 x 10-6 radians
C = 86.4 x 10-6 radians
Note: B is -ve hence
C is +ve hence
