Analysis of Statically

by the Displacement Method:
Moment-Distribution Method
Theory of Structure - I

Introduction
In the previous lesson we discussed the slope-deflection method. In the slope-deflection analysis, the unknown displacements (rotations and translations) are related to the applied loading on the structure. The slope-deflection method results in a set of simultaneous equations of unknown displacements. The number of simultaneous equations will be equal to the number of unknowns to be evaluated. Thus one needs to solve these simultaneous equations to obtain displacements and beam end moments. Today, simultaneous equations could be solved very easily using a computer. Before the advent of electronic computing, this really posed a problem as the umber of equations in the case of multistory building is quite large.

Introduction
The moment-distribution method proposed by Hardy Cross in 1932, actually solves these equations by the method of successive approximations. In this method, the results may be obtained to any desired degree of accuracy. Until recently, the moment-distribution method was very popular among engineers. It is very simple and is being used even today for preliminary analysis of small structures. It is still being taught in the classroom for the simplicity and physical insight it gives to the analyst even though stiffness method is being used more and more. Had the computers not emerged on the scene, the moment-distribution could have turned out to be a very popular method.

Moment-Distribution Method
SIGN CONVENTION
We will establish the same sign convention as that established for the slope-deflection equations:
Clockwise moments that act on the member are considered positive (+), whereas
counterclockwise moments are negative (-).

Moment-Distribution Method
DEFINITION OF TERMS
1. Stiffness, K. The amount of force/moment required to produce a unit deformation/rotation.
Absolute Stiffness, K = 4EI/L
Relative Stiffness, K = EI/L
2. Distribution Factor, DF. A value which determines the appropriate amount of moment to be distributed.
Distribution Factor, DF = K/(ƩKj)
where, K = stiffness of the member
ƩKj = summation of stiffness meeting at a joint
Distribution of Moment, DM = - DF(ƩMj)
Caryy-Over Factor, COF = ½(DMadj)
Moment-Distribution Method
DEFINITION OF TERMS
3. Fixed End Moment, FEM. Moments developed at the end of the member due to applied loads (and/or settlement of supports) considering or idealizing the beam has fixed supports. (See list of formulas for FEM)
4. Final Moment, FM. Final moment at the end the idealized beam after the distribution of moments.
5. Simple Beam Reaction, SBR. Reaction at supports of an idealized simple beam.
6. End Moment Reaction, EMR. Reaction due to net moment of an idealized simple span.
7. Shear, V. Shear force computed as Ʃ(SBR + EMR).
8. Final Reaction, FR. Final support reaction which is equal to Ʃ(Vj).

Moment-Distribution Method (Frames)
1. Frames without Sidesway
2. Frame with Sidesway
Factors that may induce sidesway:
1. Horizontal load
2. Settlement of support
3. Unequal stiffness
4. Unequal legs
5. Unsymmetrical loading
A frame will not sidesway, or be displaced to the left or right, provided it is properly restrained. Also, no sidesway will occur in an unrestrained frame provided it is symmetric with respect to both loading and geometry.
