1. This document discusses continuous beams and frames, which are structural elements made of concrete slabs, beams, columns, and footings that are monolithically connected.
2. It describes how to calculate the maximum moment in continuous beams using basic elastic analysis and considering the loading application and moment redistribution. The maximum positive moments within a span and maximum negative moments at supports are also addressed.
3. Formulas are provided to calculate the maximum and minimum positive moments based on the beam's properties and span between supports. The analysis considers both statically determinate and indeterminate continuous beams.
