Introduction
Professor Hardy Cross of University of Illinois
of U.S.A. invented this method in 1930
In some books, the moment-distribution
method is also referred to as a Hardy Cross
method or simply a Cross method.
Introduction
It can be used to analyze all types of statically
indeterminate beams or rigid frames.
It consists of solving the linear simultaneous
equations that were obtained in the slope-
deflection method by successive
approximations or moment distribution.
Increased number of cycles would result in
more accuracy.
Member stiffness factor
Member stiffness factor (k) - is defined as the
moment required to be applied to produce
unit rotation at the beam support.
For internal member and far end member fixed at
the end support,
