Response 2000
Introduction:
It is a

Sectional Analysis Program

used to

Predict the Load Deformation response

Reinforced/Prestressed concrete sections

of

subjected to combined actions of

Shear, Moment and Axial load

Response 2000
Introduction:
Applicability of sectional analysis
Beam theory assumes that response of a section depends only on

The section properties

Values of applied stresses resultants
It ignores the details of how the forces are introduced in members

Response 2000
Introduction:
Applicability of sectional analysis
St. Venant's Principle
B regions:
Beam action
D regions:
Arch action
