MOMENT DISTRIBUTION
CE132P – LECTURE 15
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
• To relate the method of Moment Distribution for Beams in determining the
distribution factors and fixed end moments of a given beam.
• To derive the stiffness factor for a far end pinned or roller support beam,
symmetrically loaded beam and symmetric beam with anti-symmetric
loading

Since in theory it would take an “infinite” size moment to
rotate the wall one radian, the wall stiffness factor is
“infinite”.
