Using the slope-deflection method, determine the end moments of the beam shown.
The Fixed-end moments (FEM) are computed as follows:
Slope-deflection equations.
Substituting the obtained values of θB and θC into the slope-deflection equations suggests the following end moments:
Using the slope-deflection method, determine the member end moments of the beam of the rectangular cross section
shown. Assume that support B settles 2 cm. The modulus of elasticity and the moment of inertia of the beam are E =
210,000 N/mm2 and 4.8 × 104 mm,4 respectively.
The Fixed-end moments (FEM) are computed as follows:
Slope-deflection equations.
As θA = θC = 0 due to fixity at both ends and ψAB = ψBC = 0 since no settlement occurs, equations for the member end
moments are expressed as follows:
Joint equilibrium equation.
As θA = θC = 0 due to fixity at both ends and ψAB = ψBC = 0 since no settlement occurs, the equations for member end
moments can be expressed as follows:
Joint equilibrium equation.
The equilibrium equation at joint B is as follows:
Final end moments.
