Abstract
A method of applying the usual slope deflection equations is presented in this paper, which by successively expressing all the unknown elements in terms of a few unknowns makes an exact solution possible without the formal solution of a large number of simultaneous equations.
The method is described by showing its application to three types of structures: Continuous beams, building frames with shallow wind-bracing, and the Vierendeel truss. Certain principles are then enumerated, which may be extended to other structures that may be solved by the slope deflection method.
