Load-Bending Moment Capabilities for 2-Span Continuous Beams under Constant Uniformly Distributed Load
Abstract
This paper, investigates the load-bending capabilities for 2-span continuous beams under constant uniformly distributed load (udl) using the slope-deflection method and Staad pro v8i software. The results obtained reveal a standard deviation of 0.012, 0, and 0 for support moments 1, 2, and 3 respectively and coefficient of variation of 1.19%, 0%, and 0% for support moments 1, 2, and 3 respectively. For the span moments 1, and 2 respectively the standard deviation and coefficient of variation obtained were 0.05, 0.02, and, 5.25%, 1.52% respectively. This showed a very good agreement between the staad pro derived model equations and the slope deflection method.
