CFVR1021 - EC3-05 test: Compression and flexural buckling

Compression and flexural Buckling checking according to EN 1993-1-1:2005

A fixed steel beam subjected to a Fy load of -250 kN, a bending moment Mz of 50 m*kN and a bending moment Mx of -30 m*kN applied to an end of the beam.
The beam has a length of 10 m.
The cross section is a IPE 550.
The beam is made of Fe 460 steel which has a fy of 460000 kN/m².
The aim of the example is to obtain the cross section classification and compression and flexural buckling criterion according to EN 1993-1-1:2005. Member NOT susceptible to torsional deformations

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.
