Moment Distribution Method - Tutorial

The document provides examples of analyzing continuous beams using the moment distribution method. It includes 5 examples of beams with different loadings and support conditions. For each beam, the method assumes the flexural rigidity is constant and calculates the reactions and bending moments at key points along the beams.
