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

4. Materials
Unconfined Concrete Model for Concrete Cover
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.

6. Copying and Modifying the Section
7. Loading and Analysis
XTRACT analysis types:
-Moment Curvature, Axial
-Force-Moment Interaction
-Capacity Orbit (moment-moment interaction)
