Term Paper

The document analyzes a beam structure using Clapeyron's three moment equation and the moment distribution method. It finds the support reactions and bending moments for each method. The results show a minimal difference between the two methods for support moments. However, the support reactions are identical, indicating the moment differences are negligible. It concludes the three moment equation is more direct but requires knowledge of area properties, while moment distribution involves stiffness and distribution factors.

COMPARISM
From the analysis both clapeyrons 3-moments equation and the hardy cross moment distribution method generated support moments with just a minimal difference. But the support reactions are of the same value indicating that the difference in the moments is negligible.

CONCLUSION: The three moments equation is very direct and straight forward than the moment distribution method that requires both Stiffness and Distribution Factors. But you must have a good knowledge of areas and the position of Centre of Gravity of different shapes for you to work with the 3-moments equation effectively.
