CHAPTER 1

1.1 The Tasks of The Case Study

1.a. calculate both, reinforcement amounts with respect to bending as well as shear effects

and provide an appropiate reinforcement layout.

2.a. separate axial and shear quotas from a general acceleration wave induced by an impact

b. calculate the dynamic response of the RC-frame structure:- in first step, discretize the frame into number of finite beam elements;- modify a general beam element to ensure a transmission of compression and

shear waves separately;- compute structural response by means of acceleration development along system

axis- shear waves shall be analyzed with respect to pure bending and shear effects.

3. The finite element program InfoCAD has to be used for calculation purposes
