Moment Distribution Method for Sway Frames | Portal frames
In this video lecture you will understand how to analyze a simple portal frame with side sway using moment distribution method. Moment distribution method is an iterative method, in this lecture we will first find non sway moments, then sway moments and then combine both the results. Moment distribution method is a versatile method and can be used for continuous beam , overhanging beam, simply supported beam, portal frames, sway frames and various indeterminate structures.
