CFVR7225 - Shear checking according to ACI 349

Check a reinforced concrete beam subjected to shear force according to ACI 349

A beam which is fixed at the right and simply supported at the left, has a T reinforced concrete section and it is subjected to a uniform distributed load of 30 Mp/m.
The aim of the example is to obtain the check criterion according to ACI 349.

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.
