3310: Advanced Structural Analysis

Tutorial - 2 : Slope-deflection Method
Take P = 100 + last two digits of your Roll No.
1. Analyse the continuous beam shown in Fig. 1, subject to the external loading and support
settlements as indicated, by the Slope-deflection Method. Assume EI = 80 000 kNm2. Draw the
shear force and bending moment diagrams.

2. Analyse the symmetric frame shown in Fig. 2 by the Slope-deflection Method. Draw the
bending moment diagram and sketch the probable deflected shape. [Hint: take advantage of
symmetry!].

3. Analyse the laterally loaded single bay two-storeyed frame in Fig. 3 by the Slope-deflection
method, taking advantage of anti-symmetry in the response. Draw the bending moment
diagram. Also sketch the deflection profile.
