CFVR6001 - Frame verification

Frame predesigned model verification

This example tests the FRAME editor tool. It creates a Frame with C20/25 Concrete , and S500 Steel.
For this purpose, it checks geometry and reinforcement.
The Frame has the following parameters:

  • Free height between slab and lintel = 3.5 m
  • Distance between piers = 5 m
  • Lintel thickness = 0.3 m
  • Slab thickness = 0.3 m
  • Pier thickness = 0.25 m
  • Vertical projection of the upper brackets = 0 m
  • Horizontal projection of the upper brackets = 0 m
  • Vertical projection of the lower brackets = 0 m
  • Horizontal projection of the lower brackets = 0 m
  • Terrain height over the lintel = 1 m
  • Terrain height over the slab = 1 m
  • Terrain specific weight = 20000 N/m3
  • Terrain internal friction angle (sexagesimal degrees) = 30º
  • Ballast module = 1000000 N/m4
  • Serviceability load over the frame (surface load) = 400 N/m2
  • Terrain compactation load (surface load) = 2000 N/m2
  • Lateral load (surface load) = 1000 N/m2
  • Number of axles of the vehicle (2 or 3) = 3
  • Axle length. Distance between wheels = 2 m
  • Footprint length = 2 m
  • Footprint width = 0.6 m
  • Distance between axles 1 and 2 = 1.5 m
  • Distance between axles 2 and 3 = 1.5 m
  • Load on axle 1 = 200000 N
  • Load on axle 2 = 200000 N
  • Load on axle 3 = 200000 N
  • Maximum crack width = 0.3 mm

Element types used in the model: NONE

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

The example can be launched on an educational license.
