http://opensees.berkeley.edu/wiki/index ... rete_Model in this link i cannot see the picture File:Concrete07.gif

so i went to another link http://opensees.berkeley.edu/OpenSees/m ... l/4055.htm where i had a problem . when i use SI units For defining fc0 ,in the pic shows fc0=cylinder strength
when i come to US customary units it shows fc0=compressive strength
so does fc0 use prismatic compressive strength or cylinder strength?

For all of the uniaxial materials of OpenSees user sets the parameter that define the model, where all parameters are unitless. fc0 is thus anything you think is representative of the peak concrete strength in any set of units that you want to use to define it.

YES, vesna.

I think the guy is puzzled with choosing the parameter in concrete07, which
should go for the theory behind this model. i suggest you to refer to Jonathan Waugh's
dissertation, which in the following link:
