1. The document discusses the displacement method of analysis known as the slope-deflection method. This method analyzes the deformations of structures using slope-deflection equations.
2. General procedures for the displacement method are described, including determining degrees of freedom and establishing slope-deflection equations for each member.
3. Slope-deflection equations relate the displacements (rotations and translations) of joints to member end actions (moments and shears). These equations allow determining member forces based on known joint displacements.
