Clapeyron's Three-Moment Equation

Clapeyron's Three-Moment Equation relates the bending moments at three consecutive supports of a horizontal beam in civil engineering. The presentation includes the derivation of the equation for both simply supported and fixed-end supports. It emphasizes the importance of understanding the bending moment diagrams and deflections in continuous beams.

Clapeyron’s Three-

Moment Equation
Contents of the Presentation:

• Introduction and Derivation of the Equation


• Derivation with simply supported ends
• Derivation with fixed-end Supports
Introduction

• In civil engineering and structural analysis Clapeyron's theorem of three moments is a


relationship among the bending moments at three consecutive supports of a horizontal
beam.
Derivation

• Consider a portion ABC of a continuous beam supported on three supports


as shown in Fig. 8.14a.
• Let A, and A, be the free bending moment areas obtained by treating the
beam as simply supported over two independent spans 4, and 4, (Fig. 8.14b).
• In a continuous beam, the bending moment at the three supports will not be
zero but will have some values. Let M. Mg and M be the actual bending
moments at these points and thus a fixing moment diagram may be
introduced as shown in Fig. 8.14c. The actual bending moment diagram will
be the algebraic sum of the two diagrams.
• Figure 8. 14d shows the elastic line of the deflected beam, the deflections &
and 8 of the supports A and C are relative to the central support, positive
upwards. Let 0 be the slope of the beam over the center support and > and,
the intercepts made by the tangent at the central support at the end of two
spans.
• The actual bending moment diagram will be
the algebraic sum of the two diagrams.
• Figure 8. 14d shows the elastic line of the
deflected beam, the deflections & and 8 of
the supports A and C are relative to the
central support, positive upwards.
• Let 0 be the slope of the beam over the
center support and > and, the intercepts
made by the tangent at the central support
at the end of two spans.
