Dear,
As per EN 1992 there is Nominal curvature and Nominal stiffness method.
Which one RCDC uses for column design?
Hi,
RCDC uses the Method based on nominal curvature for Slenderness calculation for Columns.
Thanks

Sorry but those two methods are at the design level not analytical. So it should come after analysis and obtained forces.
Both the methods mentioned by you are Methods of Analysis.
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.
