Refer Figure 1,

Calculate the relative stiffness KCA for part CA of the beam:

KCA=I20ft+10ft=I30

Calculate the relative stiffness KCE for part CE of the beam:

KCE=I15ft+15ft=I30

In the above beam, only joint C is free to rotate. Hence, calculate the distribution factor at joint C.

Calculate the distribution factor DFCA for member AC of the beam.

DFCA=KCAKCA+KCE

Substitute I30 for KCA and I30 for KCE.

DFCA=I30I30+I30=0.5

Calculate the distribution factor DFCA for part CE of the beam.

DFCE=KCEKCA+KCE

Substitute I30 for KCA and I30 for KCE.

DFCE=I30I30+I30=0.5

Check for sum of distribution factor:

DFCE+DFCA=1

Substitute 0.5 for DFCE and 0.5 for DFCA.

0.5+0.5=1

Hence, OK.

Calculate the fixed end moment for AC.

FEMAC=18×20×102(30)2=40kft

Calculate the fixed end moment for CA.

FEMCA=18×202×10(30)2=80kft

FEMCE=10×308=37.5kft

Calculate the fixed end moment for EC.

FEMEC=10×308=37.5kft

Show the calculation of final moments using moment distribution method as in Table 1.
