1. What is Slope Deflection Method?(Oct/Nov 2010) The Slope Deflection equations gives the moments at end of a member. These are expressed in terms of the deformations (ie.slopes & displacements). This method is used for the analysis statically indeterminate beams and rigid frames. 2. What are the assumptions used in the slope deflection method?(Oct/Nov 2010) 1) The method of the structure is linearly elastic. 2) The structure is loaded within the elastic limit of its material and the principle of superposition is also for the analysis. 3) The axial displacements and shear displacements are negligible and they are neglected in the analys...
