This command allows the user to construct an RCSection2d object, which is an encapsulated fiber representation of a rectangular reinforced concrete section with core and confined regions of concrete and single top and bottom layers of reinforcement appropriate for plane frame analysis.

section RCSection2d $secTag $coreTag $coverTag $steelTag $d $b $cover $Atop $Abot $Aside $Nfcore $Nfcover $Nfs

---

$secTag	unique section tag
$coreTag	tag of uniaxialMaterial assigned to each fiber in the core region
$coverTag	tag of uniaxialMaterial assigned to each fiber in the cover region
$steelTag	tag of uniaxialMaterial assigned to each reinforcing bar
$d	section depth
$b	section width
$cover	cover depth (assumed uniform around perimeter)
$Atop	area of reinforcing bars in top layer
$Abot	area of reinforcing bars in bottom layer
$Aside	area of reinforcing bars on intermediate layers
$Nfcore	number of fibers through the core depth
$Nfcover	number of fibers through the cover depth
$Nfs	number of bars on the top and bottom rows of reinforcement (Nfs-2 bars will be placed on the side rows)

For more general reinforced concrete section definitions, use the Fiber Section command.
