Section 5.5 Redistribution of moments (Ductility Check)

Included code sections – (4)

Excluded code sections – (1), (2), (3), (5), (6)

RAM Concept does not currently redistribute moments, but applies 5.5(4) as a limit to the neutral axis depth, thereby ensuring ductility.

The neutral axis depth is limited to:

  • (1.0 – k1)/k2 * effective depth for fck ≤ 50 MPa
  • (1.0 – k3)/k4 * effective depth for fck > 50 MPa

where k1, k2, k3, and k4 are taken from the National Annex.
