    TOS 2 - 3 Moment Equation

    Uploaded by

    Andrei Alido
    The document discusses the three-moment equation (3ME), which relates the moments between any three points in a continuous beam to their relative vertical distances. It provides examples of using the 3ME to determine values for 6Aa/L and 6Ab/L under different loading conditions. Sample problems demonstrate applying the 3ME to calculate support reactions and draw shear and moment diagrams for continuous beams with various loads.

    CONTINUOUS BEAMS
    THE THREE-MOMENT EQUATION (3ME)
    The three-moment equation gives us the relation between
    the moments between any three points in a beam and their
    relative vertical distances or deviations. This method is
    widely used in finding the reactions in a continuous beam.
