Slope-Deflection Equations Using Eq. (M_{nf}=\frac{2EI}{L}(2\theta_n + \theta_f – 3\psi) + FEM_{nf}) for members AB, BC, and CD, we write

M_{AB}=\frac{2EI}{18}(\theta_B) + 32.4 = 0.111EI \theta_B + 32.4               (1)

M_{BA}=\frac{2EI}{18}(2\theta_B) – 48.6 = 0.222EI \theta_B – 48.6               (2)

M_{BC}=\frac{2EI}{18}(2\theta_B+\theta_C) + 81 = 0.222EI \theta_B +0.111EI \theta_C + 81               (3)

M_{CB}=\frac{2EI}{18}(\theta_B+2\theta_C) – 81 = 0.111EI \theta_B +0.222EI \theta_C – 81               (4)

M_{CD}=\frac{2EI}{18}(2\theta_C) + 48.6 = 0.222EI \theta_C + 48.6               (5)

Joint Rotations By substituting the slope-deflection equations (Eqs. (1) through (6)) into the equilibrium equations (Eqs. (7) and (8)), we obtain

0.444EI\theta_B + 0.111EI\theta_C = -32.4                 (9)

0.111EI\theta_B + 0.444EI\theta_C = 32.4                 (10)

By solving Eqs. (9) and (10) simultaneously, we determine the values of EI\theta_B and EI\theta_C to be
