Hey Sean.

I was wondering how it’ll be possible to calculate the Design moment for a continuous beam

Hey,
When you say Design Moment, I assume you mean the moment that arises due to the externally applied loads (rather than the moment of resistance). For statically indeterminate structures there are various techniques; a simple one you can implement by hand is the moment distribution method, I cover it here.
