CFVR7263 - Bending + Axial force design according to ACI 349 06

Design 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 CFVR7263.FM file
The aim of the example is to obtain the reinforcement factor according to ACI 349 06. A spiral reinforcement will be disposed

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.
