CFVR0930 - Shell shear reinforcement design according to ACI-318

Shell shear reinforcement design according to ACI-318.

The model is made up of two square shell elements of 1.0m x 1.0m. Boundary conditions: + Node located at origin has its vertical movement restrained(perpendicular to the shells). + Node located at X=0 and Y=100 cm are completely restrained. + Node located at X=100 and Y=100 cm has its vertical movement restrained(perpendicular to the shells). Applied loads: + Pressure of 3 kg/cm2 on one of the elements. + Punctual tension force of 50 kp (X=200,Y=0). + Punctual compression force of 100 kp (X=200,Y=100).
There is no shear reinforcement in the slab. The reinforcement design code is the ACI 318.

Element types used in the model: SHELL43

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

The example can be launched on an educational license.
