Question

What are the advantages of slope-deflection method over force method?

Answer 1

Slope deflection method and Moment distribution method are both stiffness methods. ... In MDM there is an advantage of obtaining the member forces without actual  ..

Answer 2

The advantages of the slope-deflection method over the force method :

• By forming slope deflection equations and applying joint and shear equilibrium conditions, the rotation angles (or the slope angles) area unit is calculated.
• Work them into the slope deflection equations, member finish moments area unit without delay determined.
• Deformation of members is due to the bending moment.
• So, these are the advantages of the slope deflection method over the force method.
