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].
Verify that a beam of different cross-sections made of Alloy 6061-T6 is adequate for the required load, in accordance with the 2020 Aluminum Design Manual.
Determine the allowable axial compressive strength of a pinned 8-foot-long beam of various cross-sections made of Alloy 6061-T6 and laterally restrained to prevent buckling about its weak axis in accordance with the 2020 Aluminum Design Manual.
