CFVR7262 - Bending + Axial force checking according to ACI 349 06

Check a reinforced concrete beam subjected to Bending + Axial force according to ACI 349 06

A fixed beam which has a rectangular reinforced concrete section is subjected to a list of axial forces and beding moments, in Z axis, from the CFVR7262.FM file
The aim of the example is to obtain the check criterion according to ACI 349 06. The reinforcement will not be in spiral so "Other cases" option is selected.

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.
