Example Problems:

  • Example 3.1: This problem presents a non-rectangular shape with an assumed neutral axis location which denotes bending only about the X-X principle axis. A 3D model of the section and stress is presented as a way to visualize the concepts presented in section 3.2
  • Example 3.2: This problem demonstrates the computation of nominal forces associated with the pure axial forces (compression and tension) on an unsymmetrical section.
  • Example 3.3: This problem demonstrates the computation of nominal forces associated with pure bending of a singly reinforced rectangular section about its major axis.
  • Example 3.4: This problem demonstrates the computation of nominal forces associated with pure bending of a doubly reinforced rectangular section.
  • Example 3.5: This problem demonstrates the computation of nominal forces associated with biaxial bending on a symmetrical section.
