SLOPE-DEFLECTION ETHOD The slope-deflection method uses displacements as unknowns and is referred to as a displacement method. In the slope-deflection method, the moments at the ends of the members are expressed in terms of displacements and end rotations of these ends. An important characteristic of the slope-deflection method is that it does not become increasingly complicated to apply as the number of unknowns in the problem increases. In the slope-deflection method the individual equations are relatively easy to construct regardless of the number of unknowns. DERIVATION OF THE SLOPE-DEFLECTION EQUATION When the loads are applied to a frame or to a continuous beam, the member will develop end moments and become deformed as indicated. The notation used in the figure will be followed. ij i φ L j ij ji - The moments at the ends of the member are designated as ij and ji indicating that they act at ends I and j of member ij. - Rotations of ends I and j of the member are denoted by Θ i and Θ j. Since the rotations of all members of a rigid frame meeting at a common joint are equal, it is customary to refer to each of them as the joint rotation. -The term ij represents the translation of one end of the member relative to the other end in a direction normal to the axis of the member. Sometimes the rotation of the axis of the member Φ ij ij /L is used in place of ij. The moments, the rotations at the ends of the member and the rotation of the axis of the member are positive when clockwise.

These equations are referred to as SLOPE-DEFLECTION EQATIONS. Slope-deflection equations consider only bending deformations. Deformations due to shear forces and axial forces in bending members are ignored. nf ± L L FE n f nf

ANALYSIS OF FRAES WITH NO SIDESWAY A frame will not side sway, or be displaced to the left or right, provided it is properly restrained. Also no side sway will occur in an unrestrained frame provided it is symmetric with respect to both loading and geometry.

ANALYSIS OF FRAES WITH SIDESWAY A frame will side sway or be displaced to the side when the frame or loading acting on it is non-symmetric. In the analysis of frames with side sway it is necessary to consider the shear forces at the base of the columns and the horizontal external load must be in equilibrium (force equilibrium equation) in addition to the equilibrium of joints.
