Thank you for the reply - I was wondering though if it is at all possible to implement this Bond_SP01 material model into pushover analysis type model, as I am interested in the stress distribution across the length and height of the wall.

Thanks again~

Hello, I am trying to implement the effect of bond slip at the base of a reinforced concrete structural wall. I am using fiber section based forceBeamColumn elements for the wall itself, and then a zeroLengthSection element for the Bond_SP01 material at the base of the wall (using a duplicate node) ...

Great thanks! Makes more sense now.

Hello, I am using the following recorder to output the stresses in a single shell element in 3D analysis: recorder Element -file timo/Element.out -time -ele 1 stresses This recorder gives me 32 data points per load step. I am assuming that these 32 points correspond to 8 parameters at each of 6 face...

Ok great thank you! That is exactly what I was looking for.

Hello, Has anyone had any luck imposing an actual ultimate fracture strain on reinforcing steel? Or at least a strain at which the stress in the steel falls to zero? I am trying to accurately model the post-peak response of reinforced concrete structural walls; bar fracture (or zero stress) is neces...
