Carry over factor in beam calculation -- confusion

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around confusion regarding the carry over factor in beam calculations, particularly for supports BC and CB, where participants debate the correct value of K, suggesting it should be (3/4)(EI/L). There is uncertainty about the carry over factor for various sections, specifically questioning why BA is considered 0 when others like AB, BC, and CD are 0.5. Participants express that the term "carry over factor" is unclear and suggest rephrasing the question for better understanding. The conversation highlights a need for clarification on terminology and its application in structural analysis. Overall, the thread emphasizes the importance of clear communication in technical discussions.

Homework Statement



I have several question regrading with this post .
1.) For BC and CB , we could see that it's far end pinned / roller supported , so , shouldn't be the K = (3/4)(EI / L ) ?
2.) I don't understand how the carry over factor works (in the second picture)

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution


1.) I think the K for BC and CB are wrong , it should be K = (3/4)(EI / L ) ,, because at BA, we could see that K = (3/4)(EI / L ) ... [/B]
2.) I don't understand for the carry over factor for BA is 0 ... We can see that for AB , BC and also CD , the carry over factor is 0.5 , so shoulnt the carry over factor for BA is 0.5 also ?

I'm going to guess that you are not getting much response here, at least in part, to the use of the term "carry over factor." This is a strange term to me, and I've been doing things like this for a very long time. Can you re-word you question to convey your meaning more clearly?

it's in the structural analysis syllabus ...It's carry over factor ,
 
The perhaps you can ask the person who drew up the syllabus what it means.
