• Deflections of structures can occur from various sources, such as loads, temperature,

fabrication errors, or settlement.


• It is necessary to know the restrictions as to slope or displacement that often occur at a
support or a connection.
• If the elastic curve seems difficult to establish, it is suggested that the moment diagram for
the beam or frame be drawn first.
The Double Integration Method
Moment-Area Theorems
Draw the moment diagram for the beam and then
divide it by the flexural rigidity, EI, the “M/EI
diagram”

Theorem 1:The change in slope between any two


points on the elastic curve equals the area of the M/EI
diagram between these two points.
𝜃𝐵 - 𝜃𝐴 = 12/𝐸𝐼
𝜃𝐵 - 𝜃𝐴 = 6( 6/𝐸𝐼)( 1/2 ) = 18/𝐸𝐼

𝜃𝐶 - 𝜃𝐴 = 0 - 𝜃𝐴 = 𝜃𝐴 = -3( 6/𝐸𝐼)( 1/2 )


𝜃𝐴= -9/𝐸𝐼

𝜃𝐵 - (- 9/𝐸𝐼) = 18/𝐸𝐼

𝜃𝐵 = 9/𝐸𝐼
Theorem 2: The vertical deviation of the tangent at a point (A) on the elastic curve
with respect to the tangent extended from another point (B) equals the “moment” of
the area under the M/EI diagram between the two points (A and B). This moment is
computed about point A (the point on the elastic curve), where the deviation is to be
determined.
𝛥𝐵/𝐴 = (4)( 5.32/𝐸𝐼 )( 1/2 )(2 + 4/3) + (2)( 5.32/𝐸𝐼) (1/2) (2 × 2/3 ) = 42.56/𝐸I
Because beam rotations are generally small, we can assume 𝜃𝐴 ≅ tan(𝜃𝐴)
𝜃𝐴 ≅ (𝛥𝐵/𝐴)/ 6
𝜃𝐴 = 42.56 / 6𝐸𝐼 = 7.09/ 𝐸I
Conjugate-Beam Method
Conjugate-Beam Method
Conjugate-Beam Method
Here the shear V compares with the slope the
moment M compares with the displacement , and the
external load w compares with the M/EI diagram. To
make use of this comparison we will now consider a
beam having the same length as the real beam, but
referred to here as the “conjugate beam,”. The
conjugate beam is “loaded” with the M/EI diagram
derived from the load w on the real beam.

Theorem 1: The slope at a point in the real beam is


numerically equal to the shear at the corresponding
point in the conjugate beam.
Theorem 2: The displacement of a point in the real
beam is numerically equal to the moment at the
corresponding point in the conjugate beam.
