Concrete03 Material -- Nonlinear Tension Softening

This command is used to construct a uniaxial concrete material object with tensile strength and nonlinear tension softening. This is a Fedeas Material and the source code may not be available, yet.

uniaxialMaterial Concrete03 $matTag $fpc $epsc0 $fpcu $epscu $lambda $ft $epst0 $ft0 $beta $epstu

$matTag

unique material object integer tag

$fpc

compressive strength*

$epsc0

strain at compressive strength*

$fpcu

crushing strength*

$epsU

strain at crushing strength*

$lambda

ratio between unloading slope at $epscu and initial slope (=2*$fpc/$epsc0)

$ft

tensile strength

$epst0

tensile strain at the transition from nonlinear to linear softening

$ft0

tensile stress at the transition from nonlinear to linear softening

$beta

exponent of the tension softening curve

$epstu

ultimate tensile strain

*NOTE: Compressive concrete parameters should be input as negative values.
