 Introduction
While analyzing indeterminate structures, it is
necessary to satisfy (force) equilibrium,
(displacement) compatibility and force-
displacement relationships
(a) Force equilibrium is satisfied when the reactive
forces hold the structure in stable
equilibrium, as the structure is subjected to
external loads
(b) Displacement compatibility is satisfied when the
various segments of the structure fit together
without intentional breaks, or overlaps
(c) Force-displacement requirements depend on the
manner the material of the structure
responds to the applied loads, which can be

 Introduction (contd)

Two methods are available to analyze

indeterminate structures, depending on whether we
satisfy force equilibrium or displacement
compatibility conditions - They are: Force method
and Displacement Method
Force Method satisfies displacement compatibility
and force-displacement relationships; it treats the
forces as unknowns - Two methods which we will be
studying are Method of Consistent Deformation
and (Iterative Method of) Moment Distribution
Displacement Method satisfies force equilibrium
and force-displacement relationships; it treats the
displacements as unknowns - Two available methods
are Slope Deflection Method and Stiffness

ethod of Consistent Deformation /Force Method

Solution Procedure:
(i) Make the structure determinate, by releasing the extra
forces constraining the structure in space
(ii) Determine the displacements (or rotations) at the
locations of released (constraining) forces
(iii) Apply the released (constraining) forces back on the
structure (To standardize the procedure, only a unit load of
the constraining force is applied in the +ve direction) to
produce the same deformation(s) on the structure as in
(ii)
(iv) Sum up the deformations and equate them to zero at
the position(s) of the released (constraining) forces, and
calculate the unknown restraining forces

Types of Problems to be dealt: (a) Indeterminate

beams; (b) Indeterminate trusses; and (c) Influence lines
