Solution is found by an iterative algorithm as follows:
Initial values for reinforcement are assumed to be minimum allowed values by code.
Iterations are repeated until equation (2) is satisfied as follows:
Strains c

are calculated by condition (1) using iterative algorithm until
N

< o, where o is the acceptable error.
Then the condition M

+ M

+ M
s2
< o is verified and if satisfied, calculations are
finished.
If it is not satisfied then values of N

and N

are calculated by equations for balance of
moments about centers of bottom and top reinforcement, respectively:

Buckling force N
B
depends on second moment of inertia of reinforcement I
s
and the
reinforcement is unknown at this stage. Several iterations are required in order to obtain I
s
for
the final reinforcement that is designed. Calculations are performed by clicking the Results
button. Following values are calculated:
A
s1
, A
s2
areas of bottom and top reinforcement;
1
,
2
respective reinforcement ratios;
o
s1
, o
s2
stresses at centers of bottom and top reinforcement;
x height of compression zone.
The program provides M-M capacity curve for the section with the calculated reinforcement.
You can set initial reinforcement and obtain the capacity curve for it. Diagram is calculated by
changing strains c
s1
and c
c
within specified limits. Ultimate section resistance is calculated for
each position and is plotted in M-N coordinate system. Diagram is a closed curve. If we plot
external moment and axial force as a point in the same system we can compare it to the
section capacity. If the point is inside the capacity curve then section is OK for the load. If the
point is outside the capacity curve then section will fail. Reinforcement is calculated so that
capacity curve goes through the point of external loads.
Shear
Shear design is performed for elements with vertical or inclined shear links and straight main
bars (no inclined bars). The following additional data is required:
n
w
number of shear link cuts;
d
w
shear link diameter;
c critical crack projection.

Torsion
All section parts are included into calculations for I and T sections. Total torsional moment is
distributed among separate parts proportionate to their torsional stiffness. Additional main and
shear reinforcements are calculated to those by other analysis. Design of each rectangular part
of the section is described below.
