CFVR8607 - AISC-ASD 14: Flexure Checking of an Box Section, Strong Axis

Flexure checking according to AISC-ASD 14 of an Box section in the strong axis.

A steel beam is subjected to a point load of 11.55 kip.
The beam has a length of 21 ft.
Section material properties: A529Gr50 , Fy = 46 ksi / , Fu = 58 ksi
Geometric properties: HSS 10 x 6 x 3/16 The aim of the example is to obtain the flexure criterion according to AISC-ASD 14.
Reference: AISC, Design Examples, Version 13.0 Example F.7-ba, HSS Flexural Member with Noncompact Flange

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.
