Abstract Solutions based on fundamental aspects of beam theory are used for establishing some new methods in the structural analysis of continuous beams and frames. Hew slope.deflection equations are given which represent an improvement over the conventional slope.deflection method. A method using end moments and deflections as prima~ quantities is presented as an alternative procedure to the slope.deflection method. This alternative method is referred to as the moment - or curvature. deflection method. The method and some results based on the alternative procedure are compared with the slope.deflection method throtigh illustrative examples. A third procedure of using Fourier series in conjunction with the Stokes' transformation is discussed. The Stokes' transformation procedure suggests that the choice of end curvatures and deflections as primary quantities used in the moment.deflection method is more natural than choosing the end slopes and deflections.
Introduction The moment distribution and slope-deflection methods are two basic conventional methods commonly used in the structural analysis of continuous beams and rigid frames. Deflection, slope, bending moment and shear force are the four unknown quantities at each section of a beam under bending. Both of these methods express shear and moment in terms of rotation and deflection at two ends of each beam or a segment of • a beam, and the problems for analysis are formulated by satisfying equilibrium conditions at junctions of adjacent segments. While the slope.deflection method solves directly the equations established from equilibrium conditions, the moment distribution method follows an iterative procedure. Detailed discussions on these methods can be found in textbooks on structural analysis 13. The original ideas behind these methods may be found in References 4-7. For the moment distribution method, Gere 8 gives the most extensive treatment. Wang and Salman 3 give brief and concise presentations on the historical developments of these methods. The slope-deflection method in matrix format for analysing statically indeterminate structures has become more emphasised as computers are increasingly used. While the slope-deflection method is well established and widely used, derivation of the basic equations based on the superposition principle is cumbersome. Furthermore, the indeterminate fixed end moments involved must be determined using a separate method. These shortcomings may be removed by considering directly the general solution for the bending of beams from the basic structural mechanics points of view. Also, in some cases, the use of quantities other than slope and deflection as primary unknowns at each end may become more desirable. These are the reasons which motivated this study. In what follows, explicit expressions for a new set of slope and deflection equations will be presented first. As an alternative procedure, the bending moment and deflection at each end of a beam or a segment of equations established by requiring continuity in rotation at each joint in conjunction with force equilibrium conditions is solved for the unknown end
moments and deflections. The method may be called the moment-deflection method. Since the moment is directly proportional to the curvature of the deformed beam, the method may also be referred to as the curvature-deflection method. Although the slopedeflection method is well established and widely used, the present moment-deflection method is comparable to the slope-deflection method in concept and at times may be easier to apply. In the conventional slopedeflection method, determination of fixed end moments requires an analysis of an indeterminate problem itself. Consequently, only simple loading conditions are routinely used. The present method, however, provides direct solution without relying on other supplementary procedures. Furthermore, the moment.deflection method may be applicable to structures having semi. rigid joints. w

The loading p, which may involve singularity functions, is considered to be explicitly integrable. Otherwise, certain series representations may be used. The integration constants A, B C and D may be expressed in terms of either end slopes and deflections, or end • moments and deflections.

At each joint, the end m o m e n t s of adjacents m e m b e r s are related through the m o m e n t equilbrium condition. By requiring continuity in rotation at each joint together with additional force equilibrium equations, one then establishes a system of simultaneous algebraic equations for the unknown m o m e n t s and deflections. We refer to this procedure as the moment-deflection method. The m e t h o d may best be illustrated by examples.
Examples
The fixed end m o m e n t s b e c o m e MF, = k(1 - k)2FL + 2(1 - s)M - 3(1 - s)2M
(36)
Mro = E(1 - k)FL + M - 4(1 - s)M + 3(I - s)2M (37) in which k = ~/L and s = ~I/L. Based on equations (11) and (1 2) as the new slopedeflection equations, the procedure for structural analysis follows that of the conventional slope.deflection method.
In order to illustrate the moment.deflection method and to make comparisons with the slope-deflection method, the following examples given in the textbook by Wang and Salman 3 for illustrating the application of the slope-deflection method to statically indeterminate beams and frames are considered. It should be noted that the sign convention used in the present method of analysis is different to that used in Reference 3.

which agrees exactly with the solution given in Reference 3. For this example, only one equation is used to solve the problem while three simultaneous equations for 0^, 0B and 0c are involved when the slope. deflection m e t h o d is used. Clearly, if ends A and C are fixed, then the present method would involve three equations and only one equation would be involved for the slope-deflection method.

handbooks, the use of the conventional slope-deflection method is normally limited to such simple loading conditions. While the new slope-defiection and momentdeflection methods are more direct and flexible than the conventional slope-deflection method, the loading function must be explicitly integrable. For cases when loading functions are not explicitly integrable, a method using Fourier series in conjunction with the Stokes' transformation is presented here. Dicussions on the Stokes' transformation used in the Fourier series analysis can be found in Reference 9. Representing any loading function Pm sinot,nX for 0 < x < L

which agree with the results given in Reference 3. Since the frame is supported by hinges at A and 13, the present method involves fewer equations than the slopedeflection method. While the slope.deflection method cannot account for the semi-rigidity of the joints, it is a simple matter to include this effect in the present method. To show the effect of r at joint B, some numerical results are given in Table 2. It may be noted that r ranging from 10 to 0o corresponds to the joint varying from rigid to hinged connections respectively. It is seen in Table 2 that the moment at joint B reduced from the rigid joint case by about 50% when r = 40 and by over 90% when r = 400. Table 2

Conclusions A new set of slope-deflection equations is presented that can be used more directly than the conventional slope. deflection equations. An alternative procedure referred to a s the moment- or curvature.deflection method, • which expresses joint rotation and shear force in terms of end moments and deflections, is discussed. In the moment.defiectin method, a system of equations is assembled by requiring continuity in rotation together
with equilibrium conditions. The method, similar in concept t o t h e s l o p e - d e f l e c t i o n m e t h o d , can i n c o r p o r a t e t h e effect of semi-rigidity of the joints. When the loading f u n c t i o n is n o t e x p l i c i t l y i n t r e g r a b l e , t h e m e t h o d b a s e d o n t h e F o u r i e r a n a l y s i s w i t h S t o k e s ' t r a n s f o r m a t i o n is presented, and the procedure follows that of the momentor curvature.deflection method.
