Investigation of continuous beams with varying moment of inertia by the method of conjugate points

Author

Abstract

"This design represents the application to a practical example of a rapid and direct graphic solution of the relation expressed by the Theorem of Three Moments. This method for obtaining moments in continuous beams eliminates the necessity of using arbitrary coefficients and gives the engineer an opportunity to exercise his ingeniuty [sic] and judgment toward obtaining efficiency and economy. The use of prescribed coefficients for continuous beams makes the design mechanical and unscientific and results in moments which may be 50% too small or 60% too large"--Introduction, leaf 1.
