{{Short description|Structural analysis technique for statically indeterminate structures}}
{{Distinguish|Moment redistribution}}
The '''moment distribution method''' is a [[structural analysis]] method for [[statically indeterminate]] [[Beam (structure)|beam]]s and [[Framing (construction)|frames]] developed by [[Hardy Cross]]. It was published in 1930 in an [[American Society of Civil Engineers|ASCE]] journal.<ref name="asce1">{{Cite news|first=Hardy|last=Cross|year=1930|title=Analysis of Continuous Frames by Distributing Fixed-End Moments|periodical=Proceedings of the American Society of Civil Engineers|publisher=ASCE|pages=919–928}}</ref> The method only accounts for flexural effects and ignores axial and shear effects. From the 1930s until [[computers]] began to be widely used in the design and analysis of structures, the moment distribution method was the most widely practiced method.
