Introduction

AdSec is a general section analysis program, giving section properties for irregular sections. While focussed on concrete sections, other materials can be specified. It will:

• Calculate the ultimate resistance of irregular sections (reinforced and pre-stressed)

• Provide $N/M$ and $M_{yy}/M_{zz}$ charts

• Serviceability calculations including crack widths / cracking moment

• Provide moment-curvature and moment-stiffness charts

The basic assumption in AdSec is that plane sections remain plane.
