CONJUGATE BEAM METHOD
Conjugate beam is an imaginary beam of same
lenge as original beam
, but is supported in
such a manner that , when loaded with diagram
If real beam , the sheal force and Bending moment
at a section in conjugate beau gives slope and
election at corresponding section of original beam.

Theorems :- Beam.
&Slope at any port on original beam-there force at
that point in conjugate beam.
② Deflection at any port on original beam-Bending moment at
that point in conjugate beam.
SIGN CONVENTIONS :-
–
1) If M/ diagram is positive , loading outs downwards
of Mez diagram is negative , loading
acts upward .
2) If sheal force -> tre -> slockwise slope
– re -> anti-clockwise slope.
if sheal fork ->
3) if BM ->re -> deflection – downward .
If BM -re -> deflection -> upward .
