CFVR2602 - BS 5950 2001 test: Pure bending
British Standard 5950-2001 test for bending without axial force.
A pinned-pinned steel beam is subjected to a surface load of 2.75kN/m
The beam has a length of 1200 m. the cross section is a IPE 200.
The beam is made of Fe BS595085 GR50 steel.
The aim of the example is to obtain the cross section classification, and bending checking criterion according to BS 5950 2001.
