47-150 The Civil Engineering Handbook, Second Edition
In writing Eqs. (47.317) and (47.318), the equality s
jj
= s
ii
has been used. Note that as R
kA
and R
kB
approach infinity, Eqs. (47.317) and (47.318) reduce to Eqs. (47.306) and (47.307), respectively.
Member with Transverse Loading
For members subjected to transverse loading, the slope deflection Eqs. (47.306) and (47.307) can be
modified by adding an extra term for the fixed-end moment of the member.
(47.320)
(47.321)
Table 47.4 gives the expressions for the fixed-end moments of five commonly encountered cases of
transverse loading. See Chen and Lui (1987, 1991) for more details.
Member with Tensile Axial Force
For members subjected to tensile force, Eqs. (47.306) and (47.307) can be used, provided that the stability
functions are redefined as

(47.323)
Member Bent in Single Curvature with
B
= –
A
For the member bent in a single curvature in which q
B
= –q
A
, the slope deflection equations reduce to
(47.324)
(47.325)
Member Bent in Double Curvature with
B
=
A
For the member bent in a double curvature such that q
B
= q
A
, the slope deflection equations become
(47.326)
(47.327)
Second-Order Elastic Analysis
There are two methods to incorporate second-order effects, the stability function approach and the
geometric stiffness (or finite element) approach. The stability function approach is based on the governing
differential equations of the problem, as described above, whereas the stiffness approach is based on an
assumed cubic polynomial variation of the transverse displacement along the element length. Therefore,
the stability function approach is more exact in terms of representing the member stability behavior.
However, the geometric stiffness approach is easier to implement for matrix analysis.
