CFVR4501 - GB50017 test: Pure bending

A pinned-pinned Steel beam is subjected to a surface load of 2.75kp/cm and a surface load on face 2 of 3 kp/cm
The beam is has a length of 1200 cm.
The cross section is a B Tubular Square/Box, TS 10x10.
The beam is made of GB 50017 Q235 steel.
The aim of the example is to obtain bending checking criterion according to GB 50017.

Element types used in the model: BEAM3

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

The example can be launched on an educational license.
