CivilFEM Intro - Shell Bending
Shell bending design and shell reinforcement
Shell reinforcement works with ANSYS elements Shell43, Shell63 and Shell93.
Amount of reinforcement in a shell
CivilFEM allows to design the shell reinforcement according to the following methods:
- Wood-Armer Method: design of reinforcement is done for MX, MY and MXY.
In plane loads are ignored. The orientation angles of the reinforcement can
be defined for each shell vertex.
- CEB-FIP Method: design of reinforcement
taking into account the effects of in-plane loading: Tx, Ty, Txy, Mx, My, Mxy,
Nx, Ny. § Virtual frames method (New).
