The theorem of three moments, also called Clapeyron's theorem of three moments, is a result in structural analysis giving a relationship among the bending moments at three consecutive supports of a horizontal beam. It is used in civil engineering to analyze continuous beams that span more supports than a single-span calculation can solve directly.
