Moment Distribution Method: Structural Theory 2 CE 421

The document discusses the moment distribution method for analyzing frame structures without sidesway. It provides steps for calculating distribution factors, fixed end moments, setting up a moment distribution table, balancing and carrying over moments. Examples are presented to show how to apply these steps to analyze sample frame structures under given loading conditions. Distribution of forces and support reactions are determined. Exercises are listed to further practice the method.
