Chapter 12 - Displacement Method of Analysis: Moment Distribution

Objectives See procedure for analysis.

Concepts   1. general principles and definitions 2. moment distribution for beams 3. stiffness-factor modifications 4. moment distribution for frames: no sidesway 5. moment distribution for frames: sidesway

Problems   * examples to be discussed in class #S: number of spans sym: symmetric asym: antisymmetric SS: sidesway 7e Examples 7e Homework Spread- sheet Autodesk Robot beam     2S   12.001   --   --   solution   solution   This spreadsheet can be used to check your derivations for beams and simple frames (no tees or sidesway) with constant EI. - created by Danielle Young and Josh Jensby The password is 'please'.   2S   12.002   --   solution   --   solution     2S   12.003   --   solution   --   solution     2S   12.004   --   --   solution   solution     2S   12.005   solution*   --   --   solution     4S sym   12.006   --   solution   --   solution     2S   12.007   solution*   --   --   solution     2S   12.008   --   --   solution   solution     2S asym   12.009   --   --   solution   solution     3S   12.010   --   solution   solution   solution   frame   2S   12.011   --   solution   --   solution     3S   12.012   solution*   --   --   solution     4S   12.013   --   --   --   --     4S   12.014   --   solution   --   solution     2S   12.015   --   --   solution   --     3S SS   12.016   --   --   --   --     3S SS   12.017   --   --   --   --     3S SS   12.018   --   --   --   --     3S SS   12.019   --   --   --   solution       3S SS   12.020   --   --   --   --       3S SS   12.021   --   --   --   --
