First equilibrium equation:

Second equilibrium equation:

Substitute this expression for θC back into the first equilibrium equation:

Therefore:

Actual values for the magnitudes and directions of the end moments for all of the members:
For MAC:

For MCA:

For MBC:

For MCB:

For MCD:

For MDC:
EXAMPLE FOR NON-SWAY FRAMES:

Since the node is not accelerating, all of the moments applied to it must add to zero:
−MCA − MCB − MCD + 150 = 0
MCA + MCB + MCD = 150kNm
Moment equilibrium around node D:
−MDC−60=0
MDC=−60kNm
At this point we should double check our calculations and see that MBA+MBC=0.
Neither of the beam elements have a pin or hinge at the end, so we will use equation (3). The roller at point
B does not count as a pin end since the beam is continuous there (so clearly the internal moment at point
B will not be equal to zero). The general slope-deflection equation from equation (3) is:

For the moment at the end of member AB at point A, A is the near side and B is the far side, so:

But, since node A is fixed, then we know that θA=0, so:

For the moment at the end of member AB at point B, B is the near side and A is the far side, so:

Moving on to member BC, for the moment at the end of member BC at point B, B is the near side and C is
the far side, so:

The last slope deflection equation is for the moment at the end of member BC at point C, where C is the
near side and B is the far side, so:

Equilibrium condition at node B to solve for our only unknown rotation θB:

Since there is only one DOF in this problem, there is only one equilibrium equation and one unknown
rotation, so we can solve directly for θB:
PROCEDURES FOR INDETERMINATE BEAMS:
1. Find all of the unrestrained DOFs in the beam structure.

2. Define an equilibrium equation for each DOF (for rotations, the sum of all moments at each rotating
node must equal zero).

3. Find the moments to put into the equilibrium conditions using the slope deflection equations (either
(1)/(2)/(3) for regular members or (4)/(5) if the element has a pin or hinge at the end). To do this:
a. For each element that has an external force between the nodes, find the fixed end moments at
either end using Figure 9.6.
b. If there are any support settlements or imposed displacements at node locations, find the chord
rotations caused by that settlement/displacement.
c. Construct each slope deflection equation.

4. Put the slope deflection moments into the equilibrium equations and use the resulting equilibrium
equations to solve for the values of the unknown DOF rotations (by solving the system of equations).

5. Use the now-known DOF rotations to find the real end moments for each element of the beam (sub
the rotations back into the slope-deflection equations).

6. Use the end moments and external loadings to find the shears and reactions.

7. Draw the resultant shear and bending moment diagrams.


EXAMPLE:

For the sole rotational DOF at node B, the equilibrium condition will be:
MBA+MBC=0
The chord rotation for member AB and BC can be found using equation:
METHOD OF SLOPE DEFLECTION
-is one of the fundamental techniques for analyzing indeterminate structures—those that have more
unknowns than equilibrium equations. Specifically, it is used to analyze continuous beams and rigid
frames.

-The slope-deflection method relates the moments at the ends of members to the rotations (or slopes) and
displacements (translations) at the joints.

Derivation of Slope Deflection Equation


To derive the slope-deflection equations, consider a beam of length L and of constant flexural rigidity EI
loaded as shown in Figure 11.1a. The member experiences the end moments MAB and MBA at A and B,
respectively, and undergoes the deformed shape shown in Figure 11.1b, with the assumption that the
right end B of the member settles by an amount ∆. The end moments are the summation of the moments
caused by the rotations of the joints at the ends A and B (θA and θB) of the beam, the chord
rotation . . .and the fixity at both ends referred to as fixed end moments
