Tutorial 1:

A rectangular reinforced concrete beam has the span shown in the figure below
with b=350mm and h=600mm. Materials strength are fc'=25 MPa and
fy=350MPa.
1-Draw the beam deflected shape with deflection values
2-Find the support reactions
3-Draw the SFD and BMD
4-Design the beam for maximum applied moment
5-Design the beam for maximum applied shear

1-Draw the grid

2-Define materials:

3- Define beam section

4- Define load pattern and load combination

5- Draw the beam

6- assign/modify supports
-select the free ends

- Assign> joint > restrain > select {free}

7-Assign loads
1- Select the beam that’s the
point load should be applied

2- Assign<Frame loads<Point

3- Select the beams that’s the

distributed load should be
applied

4- Assign<Frame loads<frame
