Slope-Deflection Method Guide

1. The slope deflection method is a structural analysis technique for beams and frames introduced in 1914. 2. To determine the reactions of a continuous beam loaded as shown, fixed end moments are first calculated for each span. Slope deflection equations relating the end moments and slopes are then written and solved subject to boundary conditions to find the unknown slopes. 3. Solving the slope deflection equations yields the slopes at points B and C of -119 KN-m^2 and -137 KN-m^2 respectively. The end moments are then calculated using the slopes and fixed end moments.

SLOPE – DEFLECTION METHOD (BEAMS)

The slope deflection method was introduced in 1914 by George A. Maney. It is a


structural analysis method for beams and frames. Slope deflection method was widely used for
more than a decade until the moment distribution method was developed.
