CFVR2814 - Bending + Axial force design according to IS456

Design a reinforced concrete beam subjected to Bending + Axial force according to IS456

A fixed beam which has a I reinforced concrete section is subjected to a bending moment of 1800 kN*m.
The aim of the example is to obtain the necessary steel amount according to IS456.

Element types used in the model: BEAM4

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

The example can be launched on an educational license.
