Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A continuous beam has fixed-end moments of +30 k-ft for one end and -60 k-ft for the other, subjected to a uniform load of 2 k/ft. Perform the moment distribution method and summarize your findings.

💡 Hint: Start by calculating each fixed end before setting up your balance equations.

Question 2

Discuss the implications of a joint experiencing translation while attempting moment distribution. What resulting errors might occur?

💡 Hint: Consider how movement alters force distributions in structural members.
