Method of superposition for beams explained (slope & deflection with tables)

Check out https://www.engineer4free.com/structu... for more free structural analysis tutorials. The course covers shear force and bending moment diagram review, method of superposition, moment area method, force method, displacement method, slope deflection method, and 3 moment equation.

This tutorial explains how to use tables to quickly solve method of superposition (slope/deflection) problems for statically determinate beams. Tables really speed up the calculation of slope and deflection for key points of interest. Be careful to input the right magnitude and sign when using tables, and always think critically about whether or not the answer you are getting intuitively makes sense.

Here is the table from the video: https://www.engineer4free.com/extras/... I had to change the URL from what was originally in the video. Hopefully everyone is too lazy to manually type it in though and just looks for this link instead.
