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:
