A frame is a structure having both horizontal and vertical members, such as beams and
columns. The joint between any two members is assumed to rotate has a whole when loads
are applied (rigid) hence they are called rigid jointed frames.
The frames is which the beams and columns are perpendicular to each other are called
orthogonal frames. The moment of the joints in frames in the lateral direction is called Lateral
Sway or Sway.
Δ Δ
The frames which do not sway in lateral direction are called non sway portal frames.

Consider a continuous beam ABC as shown in the figure. The final moment developed at
the intermediate support B should follow the condition M BA+ MBC = 0 but the fixed end
moments (FEM) at that support will be MFBA+ MFBC = 0.
The algebraic sum of the fixed end moments (FEM) thus obtained is the unbalanced
moment at B. This unbalanced moment is balanced and redistributed to both M FBA and MFBC
depending upon the stiffness of the member. Half of the distributed moment will be carried
over to the far end. Hence we will again have unbalanced moments, so that we have to
balance and distribute.
This iteration process will continue till we get balanced moments that is M BA+ MBC = 0,
similarly at the last simple support MCB = 0.
This iterative method of balancing and redistributing of unbalanced moments to obtain the
final balanced moments is called moment distribution method.
In order to distribute the moments we should calculate stiffness factors and distribution
factors.

3.1 Introduction:
→ Frame analysis is carried out by solving the slope − deflection equations by successive
approximations. Useful in case of side sway as well.
Case 1. No side sway and therefore no translation of joints derivation. Consider a typical
member AB loaded as shown below:
Case-1: Without sides way. Definition: “Restrained moment at a joint is the algebraic sum of FE.M’s of
different members meeting at that joint.”
1. Sum of the restrained moment of a joint and all rotation contributions of the far ends of members
meeting at that joint is multiplied by respective rotation factors to get the required near end rotation
contribution. For the first cycle when far end contributions are not known, they may be taken as zero (Ist
approximation).
2. By repeated application of this calculation procedure and proceeding from joint to joint in an arbitrary
sequence but in a specific direction, all rotation contributions are known. The process is usually stopped
when end moment values converge. This normally happens after three or four cycles. But values after 2nd
cycle may also be acceptable for academic.
Case 2: With side sway (joint translations) In this case in addition to rotation contribution, linear
displacement contributions (Sway contributions) of columns of a particular storey are calculated after
every cycle as follows:
SIGN CONVENSION ON MOMENTS:− Counter-clockwise moments are positive and clockwise rotations
are positive
(D) Near end contribution of various = respective rotation contribution factor × [Restrained moment +
Members meeting at that joint. far end contributions]
Linear displacement contributions will be calculated after the end of each cycle for the columns only.
(F) For beams, End moment = FEM + 2 near end contribution + Far end contributions.
(G) For columns, End moment. = FEM + 2 near end contribution + Far end contribution +linear
displacement contribution of that column for the latest cycle.
3.3 Problem 1: Analyze the following beam by rotation contribution method. EI is constant.
Analysis assumes continuous ends with some fixity. Therefore, in case of extreme hinged supports in
exterior spans, modify (reduce) the stiffness by 3/4 = (0.75).for a hinged end.
AB I 16 1/16*48 3 3
BC I 24 1/24 2 2
CD I 12 1/12 4*3/4 3
Step No.3. Draw Boxes, enter the values of FEMs near respective ends of exterior boxes and rotation
contribution factors appropriately (on the interior side).
FIRST CYCLE ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓

and − 0.2 ( 224 + 0 + 0) = − 44.8 (Span BC) and − 0.3(− 234 − 44.8 + 0) = +83.64 (Span CD)

3rd cycle: Singular to second cycle procedure. We stop usually after 3 cycles and the answers can be
further refined by having another couple of cycles. (Preferably go up to six cycles till difference in
moment value is 0.1 or less). The last line gives near and far end contribution.
For beams. End moment = FEM + 2near end cont. + Far end contribution.
The beam has been analyzed and we can draw shear force and bending moment diagrams as usual

4.1 Introduction:
These are the two basic methods by which an indeterminate skeletal structure is analyzed. In
these methods flexibility and stiffness properties of members are employed. These methods have
been developed in conventional and matrix forms. Here conventional methods are discussed.
suitable number of releases. The number of releases required is equal to staticalindeterminacy s.
Introduction of releases results in displacement discontinuities at these releases under the
externally applied loads. Pairs of unknown biactions (forces and moments) are applied at these
releases in order to restore the continuity or compatibility of structure.
The computation of these unknown biactions involves solution of? linear simultaneous
equations. The number of these equations is equal to staticalindeterminacy s. After the unknown
biactions are computed all the internal forces can be computed in the entires tructure using
equations of equilibrium and free bodies of members. The required displacements can also be
computed using methods of displacement computation.
Inflexibility methods inceunknowns are forces at the releases the method is also called
force method. Since computation of displacement is also required at releases for imposing
conditions of compatibility the method is also called compatibility method. In computation of
displacements use is made of flexibility properties, hence, the method is also called flexibility
method.
The systematic development of consistent deformation method in the matrix form has
lead to flexibility matrix method. The method is also called force method. Since the basic
unknowns are the redundant forces in the structure.
This method is exactly opposite to stiffness matrix method.
The flexibility matrix equation is given by
[P] [F] = {[Δ] – [ΔL]}
[P] = [F]-1{[Δ] – [ΔL]}
Where,
[P] = Redundant in matrix form
[F] = Flexibility matrix
[Δ] = Displacement at supports
[ΔL]= Displacement due to load

The given indeterminate structure is first made kinematic ally determinate by introducing
constraints at the nodes. The required number of constraints is equal to degrees of freedom at
the nodes that is kinematic indeterminacy ?k. The kinematic ally determinate structure
comprises of fixed ended members, hence, all nodal displacements are zero. These results in
stress resultant discontinuities at these nodes under the action of applied loads or in other words
the clamped joints are not in equilibrium.
In order to restore the equilibrium of stress resultants at the nodes the nodes are imparted
suitable unknown displacements. The number of simultaneous equations represent ting joint
equilibrium of forces is equal to kinematic indeterminacy. Solution of these equations gives
unknown nodal displacements. Using stiffness properties of members the membered forces are
computed and hence the internal forces throughout the structure.
Since nodal displacements are unknowns, the method is also called displacement method.
Since equilibrium conditions are applied at the joints the method is also called equilibrium
method. Since stiffness properties of members are used the method is also called stiffness
method.
Local co ordinates
In the analysis for convenience we fix the element coordinates coincident with the
member axis called element (or) local coordinates (coordinates defined along the individual
member axis )
Global co ordinates
It is normally necessary to define a coordinate system dealing with the entire structure is called
system on global coordinates (Common coordinate system dealing with the entire structure)
Transformation matrix
The connectivity matrix which relates the internal forces Q and the external forces R is
known as the force transformation matrix. Writing it in a matrix form,
{Q} =[b]{R}
