ANALYSIS OF STATICALLY
INDETERMINATE BEAM
 Two (2) methods covered in Chapter 5:

1. Slope-deflection method
2. Moment-distribution method
 Procedure
• Slope Deflection Method
a) Determine end fixed moment, moment from
slope at the support, and moment from support
settlement.
b) Determine slope at support
c) Determine moment at support
• Moment Distribution Method
a) Determine the strength in every member
b) Determine the distribution factor
c) Determine the carry over factor
d) Determine fixed end moment
e) Conduct the moment distribution
process and carry over process
f) Determine moment at support
 SLOPE DEFLECTION

• For indeterminate structure, moment at the end of the member is developed

from :
- fixed end moment
- deflection slope or rotation
- support shift (support settlement)
a.

b.

Slope or rotation that occurred at beam’s end will produce moment. This moment is
in opposite direction with direction of the rotation.
Fixed end moment (FEM): is defined as moment resultant when both its ends are fixed
(rotation at ends are zero).
Moment of Slope (MS)
MS at end B if end C is fixed:

MS at end C if end B is fixed:

MSBC

MSCB
Moment of Support Displacement (MSD)
Therefore moment resultant for support B in member BC is:
