Moment-Distribution Method
The moment-distribution method is one of several displacement methods for analyzing continuous beams and rigid frames. Moment distribution, however, provides […]

Moments of Forces
A force acting on a body may have a tendency to rotate it. The measure of this tendency is the
Mohrs Circle
Equations (3.46) for stresses at a point O can be represented conveniently by Mohrs circle (Fig. 3.16). Normal stress Æ’
Moment Connections
The most commonly used moment connection is the field welded connection shown in Fig. 5.56. This connection has been in common
Minimum Connections
In buildings, connections carrying calculated stresses, except for lacing, sag bars, and girts, should be designed to support at least
Minimum Number of Fasteners
In buildings, connections carrying calculated stresses, except lacing, sag bars, and girts, should be designed to support at least 6
Metal Roof Deck
Steel-framed buildings often utilize a roof deck composed simply of metal deck. When properly sloped for drainage, the metal deck itself
Methods for Analysis of Statically Indeterminate Systems
For a statically indeterminate structure, equations of equilibrium alone are not sufficient to permit analysis (see Art. 3.28). For such systems,
