ITS-Reinforced Concrete Column Analysis and Design - Version 1.0.0

Description

Reinforced Concrete Column Analysis and Design (RCCAD) is a newly developed reinforced concrete column analysis and design software. The section is meshed into lots of quadrangles with four gauss points each. This meshed section results in the ability of the software to handle irregular section and is suitable for nonlinear analysis with arbitrary loading directions. The sectional non-linear analysis can be performed using a conventional fiber-based method or with Two-Dimensional Non-Linear Finite Element Analysis.
