CFVR1272 - Seismic margin in reinforced beam according to Eurocode 2 (2008)
Check a reinforced concrete beam subjected to shear force
A beam which is fixed at the right and simply supported at left end has a rectangular reinforced concrete section and it is subjected to a uniform distributed load of 6.75 Mp/m.
The aim of this example is to obtain the scale factor for elastic (FSE) and permissible inelastic response (FSI) according to EC2-08 code.
Inelastic energy absorption factors for shear is 1.25.
