 As per EN 1992 there is Nominal curvature and Nominal stiffness method. 
 Which one RCDC uses for column design?</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 12</generator><item><title>RE: RCDC - Column design method</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/734594?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 30 Sep 2022 08:07:13 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:a4dbaeec-5051-45df-b54e-965218618650</guid><dc:creator>Nidhi Valia</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;RCDC uses the&amp;nbsp;Method based on nominal curvature for Slenderness calculation for Columns.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: RCDC - Column design method</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/734576?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 30 Sep 2022 07:13:18 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:d0b06d8f-a1b6-42c2-b9fd-19f786f52f3d</guid><dc:creator>Ivan Hadži Bošković</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Sorry but those two methods are at the design level not analytical. So it should come after analysis and obtained forces.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: RCDC - Column design method</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/734535?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 30 Sep 2022 04:45:09 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:c6587a88-30e8-417f-8415-a9e448788988</guid><dc:creator>Nidhi Valia</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Both the methods mentioned by you are Methods of Analysis.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;RCDC is a design software which just imports the Analysis forces from the STAAD Model or any other Analysis software model and performs the Design with that Forces.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
