CFVR4505 - GB50017: Axial Bending Checking


A cantilever steel beam is subjected to a compression load of 500 kN, a bending moment My of 30 KNm and a bending moment Mz of 80 kNm applied on one end of the beam.
The beam has a length of 1 m.
The cross section is a B Tubular Square/Box, TS 10x10.
The beam is made of GB 50017 Q235 steel.
The aim of the example is to obtain axial + bending checking criterion according to GB 50017.

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.
