Two-Span Beams
Analysis of Indeterminate Beams
1. Two-Spans with Both Exterior Supports Fixed

Load, shear, moment, slope and deflection are related and the
relationships are shown below. A B C

3) Use Cañete Cross Formulas

a. MA = FEMAB + 2 DFBA (FEMBA – FEMBC)
A. Single Span Beams 1
MA = C + 2 A (D – E)
With Overhang (eg. Frame with Overhang):
1. Simply Supported 1
a.1. MA = FEMAB + 2 DFBA [FEMBA – (FEMBC + Moverhang)]
Analysis of a simply supported beam is done in a straight
forward manner with the use of equilibrium equations since this
is determinate. b. MB = (FEMBA* DFBC) + (FEMBC*DFBA)
2. Fixed Ends MB = DB + EA
For beams with both ends fixed, determining the fixed-end With Overhang (eg. Frame with Overhang):
moments essentially completes the analysis. b.1. MB = (FEMBA* DFBC) + [(FEMBC + Moverhang) * DFBA]
3. Propped Cantilever

1) Determine the fixed-end moments. c. MC = FEMCB + 2 DFBC (FEMBC – FEMBA)
2) Balance the fixed-end moment in the simply supported end 1
MC = F + 2 B (E – D)
and carry-over half of this to the fixed end.
With Overhang (eg. Frame with Overhang):

c.1. MC = FEMCB + 2 DFBC [(FEMBC + Moverhang)– FEMBA]
