CFVR5245 - Primary and secondary forces and moments checking on isostatic solid

T cross section.

The model is a prestressed beam 15 m length.
The beam is made of C16/20 concrete and the tendons are made of Gr250 steel.
The section is a T one with reinforcement of S400 steel. It has the following dimensions:

  • h = 1 m
  • tw = 0.5 m
  • b = 1 m
  • tf = 0.3 m
Loads:
  • Self weight
  • Prestressing loads
The aim of the example is to verify the calculation of prestressing losses.

Element types used in the model: SOLID45

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

The example cannot be launched on an educational license.
