Concrete 06

Post by ccharrin »

Hi all,

The description for concrete06 states that it is used, " to represent concrete behavior in membrane elements". What is meant by membrane elements? Am I not allowed to use this material in beam-column elements? When I use this material, the behavior is similar to the other concrete material, except that the stress strain curves have a nonlinear tension stiffening section.
