Abstract

MC-BAM is a software for moment-curvature section analysis of beams. It is developed to facilitate the analysis and structural design of beams and girders with advanced construction materials like ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC), high strength steel rebars and/or large prestressing strands. MC-BAM supports several existing, recently developed, or user-defined constitutive material models that can be applied to rectangular, circular, or other cross-sections such as I- or Pi-girders. The material models and section analysis algorithm are verified, first for conventional materials against commercial software and textbook examples, then for different cross-sections with advanced materials and designs against published experimental results.
