Structures E3/S3: Moment Distribution

1. The document discusses moment distribution analysis for continuous beams. It provides examples of calculating distribution factors, fixed end moments, distributing moments through iterations until equilibrium is reached, and determining the final bending moment diagram. 2. Key steps include calculating distribution factors based on member stiffness, determining fixed end moments from loads, distributing moments based on distribution factors, repeating until moments no longer change significantly, and adding fixed and distributed moments. 3. Examples shown apply the method to continuous beams with different support conditions and loadings.

Moment distribution revision


Procedure for analysis:
1) Calculate distribution factor
2) Calculate Fixed-End Moments (FEM)
3) Apply the out-of-balance moments to releases the joints
4) Distribute moments into the members
5) Repeat (if necessary) the process until the effect of relaxation at a
joint becomes negligible
6) Obtain final moments by adding FEM and distributed moments
