CFVR1273 - Seismic margin in reinforced beam according to Eurocode 2 (2008)
Check a reinforced concrete beam subjected to torsional moment
A fixed beam with a rectangular reinforced concrete section is subjected to a uniform distributed load of 7.52 Mp and a torsional moment of 1.52 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 torsion is 1.2.
