Theory of Structures 2 Handout

The document discusses methods for analyzing statically indeterminate structures, specifically focusing on the method of superposition and various techniques such as the Three Moment Equation, Slope Deflection Method, and Moment Distribution Method. It outlines different situations to determine rotations, deflections, and maximum deflections in beams. Additionally, it provides formulas for bending stiffness and distribution factors relevant to fixed and hinged supports.

The final moment at that end is
zero for continuous beams with
hinge or roller ends. The
moment distribution will
become easier if we multiply
the beam stiffness K of the
span containing that support
by ¾, eliminating any further
distribution of moment on that
support. This is not
