Example 4.1 Determine the end slope and deflection of the mid-point C in the beam shown below using moment area method .
Solution: The M / EI diagram of the beam is shown in Figure 4.2(a). The slope at A ,
can be obtained by computing the
using the second moment area theorem i.e.
(clockwise direction)
The slope at B can be obtained by using the first moment area theorem between points A and B i.e.
