In moment distribution method, the carry-over factor for a prismatic member with far end FIXED is:
Structural AnalysisCarry-over FactorMEDIUM
Choose the correct answer
A
0
B
1/4
C
1/2
D
1
Correct Answer
C. 1/2
Why is this the answer?
When a moment M is applied at the near end of a fixed-far-end member, a moment M/2 is induced at the far end. Carry-over factor = 1/2.
