Previously Studied Methods of Analysis of

Indeterminate Structures
• Three Moment Equation
• Energy Methods
• Slope Deflection Method
• Moment Distribution Method
• Kani’s Method
Matrix Method of Analysis
• Analysis of indeterminate structures generally involves evaluating
one or more unknows using a suitable conditions.

• In matrix methods, these conditions are arranged in the form of

Matrices which are then solved to get the unknowns.
