CFVR2806 - Bending + Axial force checking according to IS456

Check a concrete beam subjected to Bending + Axial force according to IS456

A fixed beam which has a pipe reinforced concrete section is subjected to an axial compression force of 70.820 Mp and a bending moment of 52.620 m*Mp.
The aim of the example is to obtain the check criterion according to IS456.

Element types used in the model: BEAM3

Needed CivilFEM Modules:
Geotechnical Module
Bridges and Civil Non Linearities Module
Advanced Prestressed Concrete Module

The example can be launched on an educational license.
