Continuous Beam Design Guide

The document discusses the design of continuous beams and their flexural requirements. It covers sign conventions, load patterns including adjacent span, alternate span, and dead and live load combinations. Methods to determine required moments at critical sections are presented, including the three-moment equation, moment distribution method, and ACI moment coefficients method. Live load placement affects bending moments in adjacent and alternate spans.

For continuous beams, supports are unsettling this h1 and h3 are zero. Thus:
