    The document discusses the conjugate beam method for calculating deflections in structures. It explains that a conjugate beam is a fictional beam that corresponds to a real beam, such that applying the bending moment diagram of the real beam as loads to the conjugate beam results in the conjugate beam's shear being equal to the slope of the real beam and its bending moments equaling the deflections. The document outlines the procedure for using the conjugate beam method, which involves constructing the bending moment diagram, determining the corresponding conjugate beam, applying the bending moment diagram as loads to the conjugate beam, and relating the conjugate beam's internal forces to the real beam's slopes and deflections.

    DEFLECTIONS

    CONJUGATE BEAM METHOD


    ENGR. KEVIN PAOLO V. ROBLES
    8.1 INTRODUCTION
    The CONJUGATE-BEAM METHOD is based on the analogy between the relationships
    among load, shear, and bending moment and the relationships among M=EI, slope, and
    deflection.

    The conjugate-beam method is preferred by many engineers because of its systematic


    sign convention and straightforward application, which does not require sketching the
    elastic curve of the structure.

    A conjugate beam corresponding to a real beam is a fictitious beam of the


    same length as the real beam, but it is externally supported and internally
    connected such that if the conjugate beam is loaded with the M=EI diagram
    of the real beam, the shear and bending moment at any point on the
    conjugate beam are equal, respectively, to the slope and deflection at the
    corresponding point on the real beam.

    8.3 SIGN CONVENTION
    If the positive ordinates of the M/EI diagram are applied to the conjugate beam as
    upward loads (in the positive y direction) and vice versa, then a positive shear in
    the conjugate beam denotes a positive (counterclockwise) slope of the real beam
    with respect to the undeformed axis of the real beam;

    also, a positive bending moment in the conjugate beam denotes a positive


    (upward or in the positive y direction) deflection of the real beam with respect to
    the undeformed axis of the real beam and vice versa.

    8.3 PROCEDURE FOR ANALYSIS

    1. Construct the M=EI diagram for the given (real) beam subjected to the specified
    (real) loading. If the beam is subjected to a combination of different types of
    loads (e.g., concentrated loads and distributed loads).

    2. Determine the conjugate beam corresponding to the given real beam. The
    external supports and internal connections for the conjugate beam must be
    selected so that the shear and bending moment at any point on the conjugate
    beam are consistent with the slope and deflection, respectively, at that point on
    the real beam.

    3. Apply the M/EI diagram (from step 1) as the load on the conjugate beam. The
    positive ordinates of the M/EI diagram are applied as upward loads on the
    conjugate beam and vice versa.

    8.3 PROCEDURE FOR ANALYSIS

    4. Calculate the reactions at the supports of the conjugate beam by applying the
    equations of equilibrium and condition (if any).

    5. Determine the shears at those points on the conjugate beam where slopes are
    desired on the real beam. Determine the bending moments at those points on the
    conjugate beam where deflections are desired on the real beam. The shears and
    bending moments in conjugate beams are considered to be positive or negative in
    accordance with the beam sign convention.

    6. The slope at a point on the real beam with respect to the undeformed axis of the
    real beam is equal to the shear at that point on the conjugate beam. A positive
    shear in the conjugate beam denotes a positive or counterclockwise slope of the
    real beam and vice versa.

    7. The deflection at a point on the real beam with respect to the undeformed axis of
    the real beam is equal to the bending moment at that point on the conjugate beam. A
    positive bending moment in the conjugate beam denotes a positive or upward
    deflection of the real beam and vice versa.
