SDM2FF: 2-Span Slope Deflection Method(Fixed-Fixed)

In sivarajahm/CEngineering: Tools/Functions for Civil and Water Resources Engineering

Description

This function computes the moments and the rotations using slope deflection method(SDM).

Usage

SDM2FF(LengthAB, LengthBC, Typeof1, Typeof2, Magnitude1, Magnitude2, Pointof1,
  Pointof2, EAB, EBC, IAB, IBC)

Arguments

LengthAB	The length of span AB
LengthBC	The length of span BC
Typeof1	The type of load(i.e., UDL/PL/TDLS/TDLE) on span AB
Typeof2	The type of load(i.e., UDL/PL/TDLS/TDLE) on span BC
Magnitude1	The magnitude of the load on span AB
Magnitude2	The magnitude of the load on span BC
Pointof1	The point at which the load is applied on span AB
Pointof2	The point at which the load is applied on span BC
EAB	Young's Modulus(E) of span AB
EBC	Young's Modulus(E) of span BC
IAB	Inertia(second moment of area, I) of span AB
IBC	Inertia(second moment of area, I) of span BC

Details

Given the span length, magnitude of load, type of load, point of action, Young's Modulus, and interia, the function computes the moments and the rotations using SDM.

Value

Moments and Rotations

Note

The possible values for Typeof1 and Typeof2 are UDL/PL/TDLS/TDLE.
UDL:Uniformly Distributed Load
PL:Point Load
TDLS:Triangular Distributed Load(the maximum value is at the start, see http://www.abzwater.com/sdm)
TDLE:Triangular Distributed Load(the maximum value is at the end, see http://www.abzwater.com/sdm )
