This command is used to construct a uniaxial concrete material object with a compressive stress-strain envelope based on the Fujii concrete model. The model has options for tri-linear softening behavior in tension and compression as well as nonlinear tension stiffening.
When used with the Truss2 or CorotTruss2 elements, the model accounts for the effect of normal tensile strains on the concrete compressive behavior. This model uses a tri-linear relation between the normal tensile strain and the associated compressive stress reduction factor.

(3) Value of $Ec must be between $fpc/$ec0 and 2*$fpc/$ec0 otherwise the closest value will be assigned.
Implementation
The instantaneous stress computed by the material model is defined to be β*f where f is the uniaxial stress calculated for the given strain history, and β is the compressive stress reduction factor defined in the Biaxial Behavior Section. For tensile stress, β = 1 while for compressive stress, the beta varies depending on inputs of the -beta option and the computed normal strain. Default values result in β = 1, and thus no compressive stress reduction.
Uniaxial Behavior
Figure 1. ConcretewBeta material model behavior based on specified input parameters
The above figure shows the shape of the compression and tension envelopes, based on the specified input parameters. If the confined concrete option is given, the compression loading envelope is defined as:
Equation 1.
up until strain $ecc. If the confined concrete option is not specified, the above equation for compression strains less than $ec0 is used. Following this region, the compression envelope goes linear to the points ($ecint, $fcint) and ($ecres, $fcres) in that order. For compression strains larger than $ecres, a residual stress value of $fcres is used.
Unloading from compression strain, the following slope is used:
Equation 2.
until reaching zero stress, which then reloads linearly to the point with the largest tensile strain that occurred before.
The tension envelope is linear until it reaches the specified tension strength $ft. If the tension stiffening parameter $M is not specified, the tension envelope after reaching $ft will go linearly to the specified points of ($etint, $ftint) and ($etres, $ftres) in that order. For tensile strains larger than $etres, a residual stress value of $fcres is used. If the tension stiffening parameter is specified, the concrete softens as:
Equation 3.
where it is suggested that $M = (75 mm)*ρl/db where ρl is the steel ratio in the direction parallel to the material direction and db is the bar diameter in mm.
Unloading from tension strain, a slope of $Ec, the initial material tangent, is used. After reaching zero stress, the material targets a compression stress equal to -$alpha*$ft at zero strain. Thereafter, the material loads linearly to the point where the peak compressive strain occurred. In the case where the slope leading to this target point is less than that for the point with stress -$alpha*$ft at zero strain, the material reloads directly to the point where peak compressive strain occurred without passing through the point with stress -$alpha*$ft at zero strain.
Biaxial Behavior
Figure 2. Relation between concrete compressive stress reduction factor, β, and normal tensile strain, εn
The ConcretewBeta material model accounts for the biaxial strain field on the concrete compressive behavior when used in conjunction with the Truss2 element, which gives the instantaneous normal tensile strain. Figure 2 above shows the relationship between the β factor and the normal tensile strain, based on the specified input parameters. For compressive stresses, the instantaneous stress value computed by the material is given to be β*fc where fc is the compressive stress given by the uniaxial behavior described above and β is determined from the instantaneous normal strain given by the Truss2 element. The β = 1 for positive (tensile) stress.
At zero normal tensile strain, β = 1, resulting in no reduction of compression strength. With increasing normal tensile strain, the β factor goes linearly to the specified points of ($ebint, $bint) and ($ebres, $bres) in that order. For normal tensile strains larger than $ebres, a residual β value of $bres is used.
