 THREE MOMENT EQUATION

General Equation for 3-Moment

 THREE MOMENT EQUATION

If Modulus of Elasticity “E” is constant:

If Inertia “I” and Modulus of Elasticity “E” is constant:

 THREE MOMENT EQUATION

For the application of three-moment equation to continuous beam, points

1, 2, and 3 are usually unsettling supports, thus h1 and h3 are zero. With E and I
constants, the equation will reduce to

Determine the reactions for the beam shown using (THREE MOMENT EQUATION)
 EXAMPLE

Determine the reactions for the continuous beam shown in Fig. due to the uniformly distributed load and
due to the support settlements of 10 mm at A, 50 mm at B, 20 mm at C, and 40 mm at D. Use the three-
moment equation.
