Example 14.1 Non linear analysis of a T beam
Example 14.1
Non linear analysis of a T beam
Example Description
Compares the results of a linear analysis versus a non linear analysis of T cantilever
concrete beam showed below. Calculate the moment-displacement diagram for the
fixed end of the beam due to an imposed displacement of 5 cm at the free end for
both linear and non linear analysis. Use S.I. units.
