ANALYSIS OF STATICALLY INDETERMINATE BEAMS THE

METHOD OF THREE MOMENTS

The Method of Three Moments makes use of compatibility equations containing three moments called the three

moment equation shown below.

M1L1 + 2 M2(L1+L2) + M3L2 + 6A1a1/L1 + 6A2b2/L2 = 6EI (h1/L1 + h3/L3) , which reduces to

M1L1 + 2 M2(L1+L2) + M3L2 + 6A1a1/L1 + 6A2b2/L2 = 0 when h1 and h3 are equal to zero as is usually the case when it

's used to analyzed statically indeterminate beams.

I. Objective : To be able to apply the Three Moment Equation in the analysis of

statically indeterminate beams.

II. Problem: Prob. Use the Three Moment Equation to calculate the moments, and then the reactions

at the supports of the beam shown below. Assume constant EI
