Moment-curvature curves may be obtained for a given section and axial load through the following process:

...

  • Enter the desired axial force (P), then select Refresh to generate the curve for a specific axial load.

 

Neutral-axis location

Angle (Deg) specifies the orientation of the neutral axis, measured counterclockwise from the negative 3 axis, as shown in Figure 2. Moment-curvature formulation then determines the location of the neutral axis. Neutral-axis location is measured along an orthogonal projection from the neutral axis to the section centroid.
