The moment-area method is a graphical method used to determine the deflection and slope of a beam at any point. The method is based on two theorems:

The book opens by defining internal resultant loadings. It introduces the concept of stress, isolating normal stress ( ) and shear stress ( ). This chapter establishes the fundamental formula: The moment-area method is a graphical method used
