Moment distribution method

MOMENT DISTRIBUTION METHOD:- This method was induced by Professor Hardy Cross and
used to analyze statically indeterminate structure and also rigid frame. This method is quite
simple in which the member and moment are obtained by successive approximation. This
method employ a few basic concept and a few specialized term such as fixed end moment,
relative stiffness, carry over factor, distribution factor.

Stiffness factor:- It is the moment required to rotate the end while acting on it through a unit
rotation, without translation of the far end being.
Simply support = 3EI/L
Fixed support = 4EI/L
Stiffness factor is the ratio of moment of inertia of cross section of beam or wire
to it's length. Stiffness factor is the measure of “resistance to bending”.
Absolute stiffness:- Absolute stiffness is represented in terms of E, I and L, such as 4EI/L.
Relative stiffness:- Relative stiffness is represented in terms of I and L, omitting the constant
E. Relative stiffness is the ratio of stiffness to two or more members at a joint.

Carry over Moment:- It is defined as the moment induced at the fixed end of the beam by the
action of moment applied at the other end, which is hinged. Carry over moment is the same
nature of applied moment.
Carry over factor:- It is the ratio of the moment developed at the far end to the moment
develop at near end.

Distribution factor:- “Distribution at any end of a member factor is the ratio of the stiffness
factor of the member being considered to the sum of the stiffness’s of all the members meeting
at that particular continuous joint. The distribution factor at joint A is obviously equal to zero
being a fixed joint.
When several members meet at a joint and a moment is applied at the joint to produce
rotation without translation of the members, the moment is distributed among all the
members meeting at that joint proportionate to their stiffness.

NOTE-

 Stiffness factor is always in between 0-1

 The sum of distribution factor at particular joint should be equal to 1 (one).

Limitation of Moment Distribution Method:-

 This method is eminently suited to analyze continues beam including non-prismatic
member but it present some difficulties when applied to rigid frames, especially when
frames are subjected to side way.
 Unsymmetrical frame have to be analyzed more than once to obtain Fixed Moments in the
structures.
 This method is cannot be applied for structure with intermediate hinges.

SINKING CASE
From below figure it is observe that the support B is sink (settle).
Therefore take negative sign for LHS and Positive sign for RHS.

PROF. FANINDRA F. KATRE GNIT NAGPUR ANALYSIS OF BEAMS & FRAMES

If more than one support is sink (i.e. 2 supports), then for span AB consider the sink of B and
it is negative due to LHS. For span BC subtract lower value form higher and take difference of
both and it is in positive sign due to RHS.

A continuous beam is simply supported at A, B, C and D with AB=4m, BC=6m and
CD=4m, DE=1m. Determine supports moment and Draw BMD. If support B is sink
by 20mm and support C is sink by 12mm along with a clockwise moment of
40kN.m acting at E, by using moment distribution method. Take EI = 8000kN/m 2.

Slope Deflection Method

Slope Deflection Method:- This method was introduced by Professor George A. Maney in 1915
and used to analyze the statically indeterminate structure that is fixed beam, continuous beam
and frame with rigid points (portal frame).
In this method the end moments or support moments expressed in terms of slopes,
deflections, stiffness and length of the members. The unknown slope values (slopes) are
determined from the condition of equilibrium of joints for moments that is MBA +MBC = 0.

Fig.
Sign convention:-
1. The clockwise movement and clockwise slopes are positive at end of any span.
2. The downward deflection at the right end of span with respect to left end is positive.

Fig.
Settlement:- Settlement (  )  is positive if right side support is below left side support  is
negative if left side support is above the right side support.

Fig.
For beam AC settlement is positive
For beam BC settlement is negative

Assumption:-
1. All joints are considered as rigid joint. It means the angle between any 2 members of a joint
will not change after deformation of the member due to applied loading.
2. Distortion due to axial deformation are neglected.

Fig.
3. Shear deformation is neglected.

Analysis of NON-SWAY Portal Frames:-

A frame is a structure having both horizontal and vertical members, such as beams and
columns. The joint between any two members is assumed to rotate has a whole when loads are
applied (rigid) hence they are called rigid jointed frames.
The frames is which the beams and columns are perpendicular to each other are called
orthogonal frames. The moment of the joints in frames in the lateral direction is called Lateral
Sway or Sway.

The frames which do not sway in lateral direction are called non sway portal frames.

H D  0.375EIC  0.1875EI 
 0.166 EI B  0.027 EI   0.375EIC  0.1875EI   0
0.166 EI B  0.375EIC  0.2153EI   0 …..(iii)
From equation (i), (ii) and (iii), we get
EI B  17.0517
EIC  12.5869
EI   8.7761
