properties. Derivation of member (relative) flexural stiffness, distribution and carry over factors,
including stiffness factor modifications. Calculation of fixed-end reactions due to member loads and
end displacements. Calculation of member-end moments in statically indeterminate beams and plane
rigid jointed frames (without and with side-sway). Solving structural analysis problems using moment
distribution method.

Introduction to flexibility method of structural analysis. Principles of flexibility matrix method. Use
of consistent deformations and virtual work in developing governing flexibility equations. Calculation
of forces and deformations in statically indeterminate beams, plane rigid-jointed frames (of straight
and curved members), arches and composites. Solving structural analysis problems using flexibility or
force method.

Topic 3 Stiffness Method (15 Hours)


Determination of deformations and forces in beams, rigid-jointed plane frames of straight members,
trusses and composites. Calculation of equivalent nodal loads from end forces in restrained members
due to member loads. Transformation of forces, displacements and stiffness between local and global

unknowns. Recovery of reaction and member end forces. Solving structural analysis problems using
stiffness or displacement method .
