Interaction diagrams for RC sections

H! Is it possible to extract axial force - moment interaction diagrams for reinforced concrete (column) sections using SeismoStruct? Thank you for taking the time to respond to this inquiry.

Nikki, hi.
Not being a dedicated section analysis program, SeismoStruct is not particularly suited to derive moment-axial force interaction diagrams.
You could still do it (by deriving tens/hundreds of moment-curvature response curves and then from these "hand-pick" combinations of moment and axial force corresponding to certain concrete/steel strain levels), but it would be cumbersome.
