The chapter discusses the stiffness method for analyzing beams, including defining member and structure stiffness matrices, and using those matrices to solve for unknown displacements and reactions.

The stiffness method expresses the relationship between forces and displacements in a structure using stiffness matrices. It is used to analyze beams by first defining member stiffness matrices, then assembling those into a structure stiffness matrix which relates the total load and displacement vectors.

Beam member stiffness matrices relate forces and displacements locally for each member. The structure stiffness matrix is obtained by assembling member matrices at connected nodes. Member influence coefficients are algebraically summed at connections.

Outline
• Preliminary Remarks
• Beam-Member Stiffness Matrix
• Beam-Structure Stiffness Matrix
• Application of the Stiffness Method for
Beam Analysis
15-1 Preliminary Remarks
• Member and node identification
– Each element must be free from load and
have a prismatic cross section
– Nodes of each element are located at a
support or at points where
• members are connected together
• an external force is applied
• cross-sectional area suddenly changes
• vertical or rotational displacement at a point is to
be determined
15-1 Preliminary Remarks
• Global and member (local) coordinates
– identified using x, y, z axes
– local or member x’, y’, z’ coordinates

※ Right-handed
coordinate system
15-1 Preliminary Remarks
• Kinematic indeterminacy
– Effects of bending and shear can be
expressed by two degrees of freedom,
vertical displacement and rotation
– Will be identified by code numbers
– The lowest code numbers to identify
unknown displacement, while the highest
numbers for known displacement

obtained by assembling member stiffness
matrices
• Where several members are connected at
a node, their member stiffness influence
coefficients will have the same position in
the K matrix and therefore must be
algebraically added
