CFVR2917 - Torsion design according to SP-52-101-03

Design a reinforced concrete beam subjected to Torsion moment according to SP-52-101-03

A fixed beam which has a rectangular reinforced concrete section is subjected to a shear force of 7.52 Mp and a torsional moment of 1.52 Mp*m.
The aim of the example is to obtain the necessary steel amount according to SP-52-101-03.

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.
