Chapter-2: Slope Deflection Method

By Prof. H.P.Sudarshan
Sri Siddhartha Institute Of Tech,
Tumkur
Example: Analyze the propped cantilever shown by using slope defection
method. Then draw Bending moment and shear force diagram.
Solution: End A is fixed hence
A
u =0
End B is Hinged hence
B

Example: Analyse the frame using slope deflection method and draw the
Bending Moment Diagram.
Solution: Assume sway towards right
It can be observed from figure in that direction of moments due to sway in
member AB are anticlockwise and that for member CD are clockwise. Wise shall
be taken to incorporate the same in the slope deflection equation.
