Solved Problem. When we convert a real beam into conjugate beam, in which direction do we take reactions? In some solved examples, I have seen some reactions in positive and some in negative direction(in a single beam).. Problem 654. You have to determine the deflection at C and slope at B, using: 1. the Moment-Area Theorems 2. the Conjugate-Beam Method Take E = 200 GPa, I = 800(106) mm4.. 5.5 The Conjugate Beam Method. 539.894.721.6..
