CFVR5204 - Support beam consecutive SOLVE


A prestressed beam is subjected to several load states. The model is a fixed-pinned beam of 15 m length.
The beam is made of C16/20 concrete.
The cross section is a rectangular concrete one, 1 x 0.5, which has top and bottom reinforcement of S400 steel, with 40 mm for geometrical cover and 28 mm of diameter.
The load states are:

  • Load state 1: Self weight
  • Load state 2: Prestressing forces
  • Load state 3: Self weight and Prestressing forces
  • Load state 4: Self weight + Modified Prestressing
  • Load state 5: Self weight + Modified Prestressing and tendon removed
The aim of the example is to solve with the support beam several times.

Element types used in the model: BEAM44

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

The example can be launched on an educational license.
