About the XTRACT Software
• Created by Dr. Charles Chadwell at UC
Berkeley
• Original name: UCFyber
• Acquired by Imbsen Software Systems in 2001
• Renamed to: XTRACT
• XTRACT is a general cross-sectional analysis
software for analysis of any section shape and
material subjected to any force-based loading
Moment-Curvature Analysis of a Beam Section

1.5“ concrete cover

22“ #5 ties spaced @ 4”


on center n4

Unconfined Concrete Model for Concrete Cover

Typical values for the crushing and spalling


strain for unconfined concrete are 0.003 and
0.006, respectively (ACI 318-11 R10.2.3).

Failure Strain
If analyzing a section where cover spalling is
not to control the termination of the analysis,
enter a large number in this text field (e.g. 1.0 -
strain of 100%). If analyzing a cross section where
computation should terminate when the cover
spalls, enter the crushing or spalling strain in this
text field.
Mander Confined Concrete Model for Beam Core

Note: Typically, to go beyond a 0.02 strain


for confined concrete, the details and
construction quality need to be carefully
controlled.
