Which of following statements is NOT true for moment distribution method?
The moment distribution method was first introduced by Hardy Cross in 1930.
Moment distribution is suitable for the analysis of specific types of indeterminate beams only and not for rigid frames.
It is also called a 'relaxation method' and it consists of successive approximations using a series of cycles, each converging towards the final result.
Moment distribution is an iterative method of solving an indeterminate Structure.
Correct answer
The moment distribution method was first introduced by Hardy Cross in 1930.
