This command is used to construct a uniaxial Megalooikonomou-Monti-Santini concrete material object with degraded linear unloading/reloading stiffness according to the work of Karsan-Jirsa and no tensile strength.

NOTES:

• IMPORTANT: The units of the input parameters should be in MPa, N, mm.

• Concrete compressive strengths and the corresponding strain should be input as positive values.

• When rupture of FRP jacket occurs due to dilation of concrete (lateral concrete strain exceeding reduced rupture strain of FRP jacket), the analysis is not terminated. Only a message “FRP Rupture” is plotted on the screen.

• When $useBuck input parameter is on (equal to 1) and the model's longitudinal steel buckling conditions are fulfilled, a message “Initiation of Buckling of Long.Bar under Compression” is plotted on the screen.

• When rupture of FRP jacket occurs due to its interaction with buckled longitudinal compressive steel bars, the analysis is not terminated. Only a message “FRP Rupture due to Buckling of Long.Bar under compression” is plotted on the screen.


Typical Hysteretic Stress-Strain Relation for FRPConfinedConcrete.


EXAMPLES:

Example: Cantilever FRP-Confined Circular Reinforced Concrete Column under Cyclic Lateral Loading


Cantilever Column Model Definition.

The cantilever column was modeled by a linear beam element with its stiffness corresponding to flexural yielding and by a fiber element at the plastic hinge which is used in order to capture the flexural hysteretic behavior. The length of the fiber element was assumed to be half of the column’s diameter. A rotational spring at the bottom of the column represents the longitudinal bar pullout from the footing and was assumed to have an elastic stiffness. According to FRPConfinedConcrete model, the averaged response of the two different regions - concrete core (confined by both the FRP & the existing reinforcement) and concrete cover (confined only with the FRP wrap) - in the cross-section allows the assignment of a unique stress-strain law (FRPConfinedConcrete) to all the concrete fibers/layers of the circular section.
