Moment Distribution Method

This document provides steps for analyzing beams using the distribution factor method. It begins with an introduction to key terms like fixed end moment, relative stiffness, and distribution factor. It then shows an example calculation involving these steps: 1) calculating fixed end moments, 2) determining relative stiffnesses, 3) computing distribution factors, and 4) filling out a table to list the distributed fixed end moment, distribution moment, and carryover moment for each member. The document concludes by discussing examples of applying this method to frames with and without sway.
