Figure P-827: Using Moment-Distribution Method, Solve For The Moments Over Supports R and R of The Continuous Beam in

This document provides the solution to Problem 879, which involves calculating the moments over supports R2 and R3 of a continuous beam using the moment distribution method. The beam stiffness and distribution factors are determined. The fixed end moments are then calculated. The moments are distributed iteratively until equilibrium is reached, resulting in M2 = -1215.22 lb·ft and M3 = -660.78 lb·ft.
