Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the usefulness of the principle of superposition in the analysis of rigid frames by the slope-deflection and moment distribution methods. A number of examples are presented to show how the principle may be used to advantage in attacking a variety of problems. The principle of superposition is usually stated in textbooks on structural analysis; but, in the writer's opinion, its application is not emphasized to the extent that its importance warrants. In the study of continuous structures, in particular, a thorough working knowledge of the principle is indispensable.
