USC_RC was developed as a tool to address the analytical needs of my research on the seismic behavior of bridge piers under various loading patterns (a PEER-NSF funded research program). It can handle 2 different systems, 4 major cross sections, any kind of steel behavior (by tuning the parameters of the model developed specifically for the program), unconfined and confined concrete Monotonic or Hysteretic stress-strain relationship (right now, one model is available, but some other models, even a custom model will be provided later).

USC_RC can provide the analysis for the Moment-Curvature response of the section under any loading condition (Hysteretic, or Monotonic depending on the case). It can also provide the Force-Deflection analysis under any loading pattern, namely a variable axial load that may be with respect to the deflection or lateral load, or a proportionally variable axial load, with any kind of lateral displacement history.

Bi-directional analysis, different material models, and a custom option are among the other features expected to be added in the next version. A virtual Lab., is a very convenient tool for the pre-test analytical investigations. This feature is supposed to be added as soon as I find some time.

Some sites have already provided a link to my page (the USC_RC) and I hope to post the updated versions as soon as they are ready.
