Concept:

Stiffness of a member is a measure of its resistance to deformation under load. The stiffness of a member in terms of flexural rigidity (EIEIEIEI ) and the length ( ) is calculated using standard formulas for different boundary conditions and configurations.

The distribution factor (DF) is a coefficient used in the moment distribution method to distribute moments to various members connected at a joint based on their relative stiffness. It is calculated using the stiffness of each member.
