3.1.5.11. Concrete01 Material – Zero Tensile Strength

This command is used to construct a uniaxial Kent-Scott-Park concrete material object with degraded linear unloading/reloading stiffness according to the work of Karsan-Jirsa and no tensile strength. (REF: Fedeas).

uniaxialMaterial Concrete01  $matTag $fpc $epsc0 $fpcu $epsu

Argument

Type

Description

$matTag

integer

integer tag identifying material.

$fpc

float

concrete compressive strength at 28 days (compression is negative)* .

$epsc0

float

concrete strain at maximum strength* .

$fpcu

float

concrete crushing strength*.

$epsU

float

concrete strain at crushing strength*.

Note

  • Compressive concrete parameters should be input as negative values (if input as positive, they will be converted to negative internally).

  • The initial slope for this model is (2*$fpc/$epsc0)
