Slope Deflection Method

The slope-deflection method is a displacement method for analyzing the equilibrium and deformation of structures where the primary unknowns are displacements. It was introduced in 1915 and takes into account only bending deformations, solving for equilibrium first before determining other response characteristics through compatibility. This method provides insight into matrix stiffness methods that form the basis of modern structural analysis software.

Slope ‐ Deflection Method

 Displacement method - the primary unknowns


are displacements.
 First solve the structure’s equilibrium equations.
 Other response characteristics are evaluated
through compatibility considerations and member
force‐deformation relationships.
 Displacement methods - Slope‐Deflection Method
and Moment‐Distribution Method
 Slope‐deflection method was introduced by
George A. Maney in 1915.

Slope ‐ Deflection Method

 This method takes into account only the


bending deformations.

 This method gives an understanding of the


Matrix‐Stiffness Method, which forms the
basis of most computer software currently
used for structural analysis.
