ANSWER:
Right now we don’t have additional documents except for the user manual and tutorial regarding the Strut-and-Tie for RC-PIER. The RC-PIER uses standard solver to handle the truss analysis internally. RCP does plane frame analysis; truss is a special case of a plane frame 2 degrees of freedom per node instead of 3.If the user really wants to verify the analytical resultsof the truss, he/she can use general structural analysis programs to do it.However, RC-PIER does both analysis and design.
