2. FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS OF CONTINUOUS BEAM A beam is a structural member which is subjected to bending deformation. Several methods available for the analysis of continuous beam Slope deflection method Moment distribution method Flexibility matrix method Stiffness matrix method Three moment theorem etc . However all these methods have limitations if either geometry, loading material properties or boundary conditions. Finite element method can well handle such problems easily.

3. FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS OF CONTINUOUS BEAM Steps for the solution of continuous (Indeterminate) beams using finite element method: Divide the beam into number of elements ( Take one member as one element ) Identify total degrees of freedom ( Two D.O.F. at each node , translation and rotation) Determine stiffness matrices of all elements ([K]1, [K]2………) Assemble the global stiffness matrix [K] Impose the boundary conditions and determine reduced stiffness matrix Determine element nodal load vector [ q ] ( Restrained structure ) Determine equivalent load vector [ f ] Apply equation of equilibrium [K]{Δ}={f} and determine unknown joint displacements. Apply equation [K]{Δ}+[ q ] ={f} to determine reactions and moments

4. Note: Action corresponding to translation is reaction. Action corresponding to rotation is moment.
