1) The moment coefficient method is used to analyze statically indeterminate structures by providing coefficients that account for the internal forces and moments based on the structure's loading and geometry.
2) The ACI code provides tables of moment coefficients for various structural conditions that are based on elastic analysis but also consider inelastic redistribution of forces.
3) The moment coefficient method expresses the moments as coefficients multiplied by the total factored load and the clear span length. This allows for a more precise analysis compared to assuming uniform moments.
