RESULTS COMPARISON
Independent results are hand calculated based on the equivalent rectangular stress
distribution described in Example 5.2 on page 92 of “Aspectos Fundamentales
del Concreto Reforzado” Fourth Edition by Óscar M. González Cuevas and
Francisco Robles Fernández-Villegas.

CONCLUSION
The ETABS 2013 results show an acceptable comparison with the independent
results for bending and an acceptable-conservative comparison for shear.
