CFVR5261 - 2D bending EHE

Rectangular section and HA-35

The model is a prestressed fixed-pinned beam 1600 cm length.
The beam is made of HA-35 concrete with tendons that are made of Y1860S3 steel.
The section is box one, with reinforcement of B500S steel. It has the following dimensions:

  • h= 100 cm
  • b= 80 cm
Loads:
  • Prestressing loads
  • Compression load Fy= -60000 kp
  • Surface load of 5 kp
The aim of the example is to verify bending checking for prestressed concrete according to EHE.

Element types used in the model: BEAM44

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

The example can be launched on an educational license.
