In this verification example, the capacity design values of shear forces on beams are calculated in accordance with EN 1998-1, 5.4.2.2 and 5.5.2.1 as well as the capacity design values of columns in flexure in accordance with 5.2.3.3(2). The system consists of a two span reinforced concrete beam with a span length of 5.50m. The beam is part of a frame system. The results obtained are compared with those in [1].
The settlements of a rigid square foundation on a lacustrine clay [1] are calculated with RFEM. One quarter of the foundation is modelled. The foundation has a width of 75.0 m in both sides. Construction stages are used to generate the results.
A cylinder made of elasto-plastic soil is subjected to triaxial test conditions. Neglecting the self-weight, the goal is to determine the limit vertical stress for shear stress failure. An initial hydrostatic stress of 100 kPa is considered.
