The document discusses the slope deflection method of structural analysis. It begins by deriving the fundamental slope deflection equations that relate end moments, slopes, and deflections of a beam. It then presents an example problem demonstrating the full procedure of applying the slope deflection method, which involves writing slope deflection equations for each member, establishing joint equilibrium equations, solving for unknown displacements, and substituting these into the slope deflection equations to determine end moments. The method provides a general approach for the analysis of continuous beams and frames.
