    Derivation of three moment equation for analysis of continous beams.

    5.5 Three Moment Equation
    The continuous beams are very common in the structural design and it is necessary to develop simplified
    force method known as three moment equation for their analysis. This equation is a relationship that exists
    between the moments at three points in continuous beam. The points are considered as three supports of
    the indeterminate beams. Consider three points on the beam marked as 1, 2 and 3 as shown in Figure
    ,
    and
    and the corresponding vertical
    5.25(a). Let the bending moment at these points is
    displacement of these points are

    and

    , respectively. Let

    points 1 2 and 2 3, respectively.

    The continuity of deflected shape of the beam at point 2 gives

    and

    be the distance between

    (5.8)

    where

    and

    are the areas of the bending moment diagram of span 1-2 and 2-3, respectively

    considering the applied loading acting as simply supported beams.


    Substituting from Eqs. (5.7) and Eqs. (5.8) in Eqs. (5.4) and Eqs. (5.5).

    The above is known as three moment equation .

    the shear force and bending moment diagram.

    Solution: The simply supported bending moment diagram on AB and AC are shown in Fig 5.26 (b). Since

    as shown in Figure

    of the imaginary span is infinity so that it will never deform and the

    compatibility condition at the end A , that slope should be is zero, is satisfied.
