moment distribution reference
does anyone know of a book or pe reference that explains the moment distribution method.   

timoshenko and young "theory of structures"
a great structures book has information on moment distribution.
i asked a senior in our office about a reference for moment redistribution the other day and they gave me a book published by the pca in 1960-something called "continuity in reinforced concrete frames", i haven't read the text but it seems to deal with moment distribution methods of structural analysis.
pca still sells a pdf of this publication on their website for $9.00 us.
"structural analysis" by mccormac
if you do a web search you might have better luck with "hardy cross moment distribution". hardy cross was the first to use this system for structural analysis (we americans claim to be the first at everything).

hibbeler's "structural analysis" text has a good section on hardy cross moment distribution.
the best reference is the book that hardy cross wrote on moment distribution. i have that somewhere in one of my boxes at home.
excellent reply jike:
the text is "continuous frames of reinfoced concrete" by hardy cross and nelwin dolbey morgan.  i have a copy on my desk in the easy to reach and grad section of a5 (approx 8" x 6") references.
he invented it, and was by all accounts an excellent teacher.  the explanations are concise and clear.  a word of caution:  when he/they say "computer", they mean you (ie: the person doing the computation).  the book predates all modern computers, including the germans & earliest us efforts.
