Generating Moment Curvature Curve
- Generate Moment-Curvature curve for a given axial load and moment direction for specified failure criteria
Automatic Design of Sections
- The program can automatically find the most suitable column section and reinforcement for a given set of loads.
- The Auto Design options can be used to control the way the way design solution is found and in the order in which the dimensions and reinforcement are changed.
- User can also specify the minimum and maximum values of various parameters and the increment to be used. The Auto design can also include the evaluation of slenderness effects.
Stress-Strain for Given Loads
- The strains and stresses in concrete and reinforcement can be computed for a give set of loads, including the direction and location of the neutral axis.
- This is determined through moment-curvature solution.
- This solution is not based on assumed failure criterion, but rather determined from equilibrium of external forces and internal stress resultants.
