Section 37 / 38 Redistribution of moments (Ductility Check)

Included code sections - 37.1.1 (item d), 38.1 (item f).

Excluded code sections - 37 (rest), 38 (rest).

RAM Concept does not currently redistribute moments, but applies 37.1.1 (item d) as a limit to the neutral axis depth, thereby ensuring ductility.

The neutral axis depth is limited to 0.6 times the effective depth.

The neutral axis depth is further limited to 0.0035 0.0055 + ϵ y γ m in accordance with 38.1 item f;

where
εy
=
maximum reinforcement yield strain of all reinforcement in the cross section in tension
