CFVR7130 - Biaxial Bending + Axial force checking according to NBR6118

check a reinforced concrete beam subjected to Biaxial Bending + Axial force according to NBR6118

A fixed beam which has a I reinforced concrete section is subjected to an axial compression force of 70.82 Mp, a bending moment of 40 m*Mp on the Z axis direction, and a bending moment of 30 m*Mp on the Y axis direction.
The aim of the example is to obtain the check criterion according to NBR6118.

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.
