236 CHAPTER 6 Deflection of Beams
‘The method of superposition permits us to use the known displace-
ments and slopes for simple loads to obtain the deformations for more com-
plicated loadings. To use the method effectively requires access to tables that
list the formulas for slopes and deflections for various loadings, such as
Tables 6.2 and 6.3. More extensive tables can be found in most engineering
handbooks
