The bending moment diagram and the deflected shape of the beam are shown in the fig. In the moment distribution method, every joint of the structure to be analysed is fixed so as to develop the fixedend moments. Unitv moment distribution method distribution and carryover of moments stiffness and carry over factors analysis of continuous beams plane rigid frames with and without sway neylor. It would be very tedious if, every time we had a slightly different problem, we had to determine the probability distributions from scratch. Deflection method this method takes into account only the bending deformations. Module ii analysis of continuous beam and simple portals by kanis method, analysis of two pinned and fixed arches with dead and live loads, suspension cable with two pinned stiffening girders. The force and moment of reactions at supports can be determined by using the 3 equilibrium equations of statics i.
