Soil MechanicsSoil MechanicsMEDIUM
Choose the correct answer
A
bending moment
B
shear force
C
axial force
D
torsion
Correct Answer
A. bending moment
Why is this the answer?
The slope-deflection method is based on the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory, which assumes that deformations due to bending moments are significant, while deformations due to shear and axial forces are neglected.
