CFVR7301 - Steel checking according to ASME BPVC III Subsection NF

Shear checking of a cantilever steel beam

A steel cantilever beam with 1/2 IPE A 80 section is subjected to a vertical force at free end in both directions of 100KN Ct reduction coefficient is taken as 0.85
Determine the total criterion according to ASME BPVC III Subsection NF.

Element types used in the model: BEAM188

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

The example can be launched on an educational license.
