This document discusses the slope deflection method for analyzing statically indeterminate structures. It provides information on continuous beams, non-sway frames, and how to apply the slope deflection method by determining degrees of freedom, calculating the effects of loads, joints rotations, and displacements, and setting up equilibrium equations to solve for unknowns like member end moments, shear forces, and axial forces. Examples are provided of applying this method to continuous beams and frames.

WHEN THE DEGREE OF INDETERMINACY IS HIGH,
THE NUMBER OF DEGREES OF FREEDOM IS LOW
SO IT IS LESS TIRING TO APPLY THE SLOPE DEFLECTION METHOD
INSTEAD OF THE COMPATIBILITY METHOD

TO APPLY THE SLOPE DEFLECTION METHOD WE NEED TO KNOW
THE EFFECT OF LOADS applied along the bars IN THE BAR ENDS
(end moments produced by the loads applied along the bars)
THE EFFECT OF JOINT ROTATIONS IN THE BAR ENDS
(end moments produced by the joints rotations)
THE EFFECT OF JOINT DISPLACEMENTS IN THE BAR ENDS
(end moments produced by the joints displacements)

LET’S SOLVE THIS BEAM APPLYING THE SLOPE DEFLECTION METHOD
THIS METHOD IS ATTRACTIVE IN THIS CASE BECAUSE
THE DEGREE OF INDETERMINACY IS HIGH
THERE IS ONLY ONE DEGREE OF FREEDOM:
the rotation at B
