Moment Redistribution
• continuous slabs & beams with uniform
loading
– joints similar to fixed ends, but can rotate
• change in moment to center =
– Mmax for simply supported beam 8

Pinned Frames
• structures with at least one 3 force body
• connected with pins
• reactions are equal and opposite
– non-rigid – rigid

Rigid Frames
• rigid frames have no pins
• frame is all one body
• typically statically indeterminate
• types
– portal
– gable

Procedure
• solve for all support forces you can
• draw a FBD of each member
– pins are integral with member
– pins with loads should belong to 3+ force
bodies
– pin forces are equal and opposite on
connecting bodies
– identify 2 force bodies vs. 3+ force bodies
– use all equilibrium equations
