CFVR7251 - Seismic margin in reinforced beam according to ACI 349-01
Check a reinforced concrete beam subjected to shear force
A beam which is fixed at the right and simply supported at left end has a rectangular reinforced concrete section and it is subjected to a uniform distributed load of 6.75 Mp/m.
The aim of this example is to obtain the scale factor for elastic (FSE) and permissible inelastic response (FSI) according to ACI 349 code.
Inelastic energy absorption factors for shear is 1.25.
