Variations of ReinforcingSteel Material

The command line for ReinforcingSteel is as follows and is properly described in the previous sections and in the user command manual.

uniaxialMaterial ReinforcingSteel $IDReinforcingSteel $Fy$Fy1 $Es $Esh $epsSH $epsY1 <-CMFatigue $CfSrs $alphaSrs $CdSrs> <-GABuck $lsrSrs $betaSrs $rSrs $gammaSrs>

The different control arguments were investigated as follows:

Srs

baseline

Sra

#### Coffin-Manson Fatigue and Strength Reduction

set CfSrs 0.260; # Coffin-Manson constant C

set alphaSrs 0.506; # Coffin-Manson constant a

set CdSrs 0.389; # Cyclic strength reduction constant

uniaxialMaterial ReinforcingSteel $IDReinforcingSteelXa $Fy $Fy1 $Es $Esh $epsSH $epsY1 -CMFatigue $CfSrs $alphaSrs $CdSrs

Srb

#### Buckling model based on Dhakal and Maekawa

set lsrSrs 6; # Slenderness Ratio

set betaSrs 1; # Amplification factor for the buckled stress strain curve.

set rSrs 0.5; # Buckling reduction factor

set gammaSrs 0.5; # Buckling constant

The backbone curve of each of these materials is shown in the following figures, tension in Figure 1, compression in Figure 2.
