Moment Area Method Explained

Check out https://www.engineer4free.com/structu... for more free structural analysis tutorials. The course covers shear force and bending moment diagram review, method of superposition, moment area method, force method, displacement method, slope deflection method, and 3 moment equation. This tutorial introduces the moment area method, it's a useful method for solving slope and deflection problems. The moment area method often gets a bad rep, but it's actually quite simple when you learn to set up problems right. In the examples to follow, you'll see that with some careful selection of point A and B, we're just going to be doing a bunch of basic geometry revolving around finding areas and centroid locations of simple shapes like triangles, rectangles, and parabolas.
