This command is used to construct a nDMaterial FSAM (Fixed-Strut-Angle-Model, Figure 1), which is a plane-stress constitutive model for simulating the behavior of RC panel elements under generalized, in-plane, reversed-cyclic loading conditions (Ulugtekin, 2010; Orakcal et al., 2012). In the FSAM constitutive model, the strain fields acting on concrete and reinforcing steel components of a RC panel are assumed to be equal to each other, implying perfect bond assumption between concrete and reinforcing steel bars. While the reinforcing steel bars develop uniaxial stresses under strains in their longitudinal direction, the behavior of concrete is defined using stress–strain relationships in biaxial directions, the orientation of which is governed by the state of cracking in concrete. Although the concrete stress–strain relationship used in the FSAM is fundamentally uniaxial in nature, it also incorporates biaxial softening effects including compression softening and biaxial damage. For transfer of shear stresses across the cracks, a friction-based elasto-plastic shear aggregate interlock model is adopted, together with a linear elastic model for representing dowel action on the reinforcing steel bars (Kolozvari, 2013).

Input Format:

nDMaterial FSAM $mattag $rho $sX $sY $conc $rouX $rouY $nu $alfadow

$mattag	Unique nDMaterial tag
$rho	Material density
$sX	Tag of uniaxialMaterial simulating horizontal (x) reinforcement
$sY	Tag of uniaxialMaterial simulating vertical (y) reinforcement
$conc	Tag of uniaxialMaterial1 simulating concrete
$rouX	Reinforcing ratio in horizontal (x) direction (rouX = As,x/Agross,x)
$rouY	Reinforcing ratio in vertical (y) direction (rouY = As,y/Agross,y)
$nu	Concrete friction coefficient (0.0 < nu < 1.5)
$alfadow	Stiffness coefficient of reinforcement dowel action (0.0 < alfadow < 0.05)

¹nDMaterial FSAM shall be used with uniaxialMaterial ConcreteCM

Recommended values for parameter of a shear resisting mechanism (nu and alfadow, Figure 2) are provided above. Details about the sensitivity of analytical predictions using SFI_MVLEM to changes in these parameters are presented by Kolozvari (2013).

Material Recorders:

The following output is available from the FSAM RC panel model:

panel_strain	Strains εx, εy, γxy (Figure 4)
panel_stress	Resulting panel stresses σx, σy, τxy (concrete and steel, Figure 1)
panel_stress_concrete	Resulting panel concrete stresses σxc, σyc, τxyc (Figure 2b)
panel_stress_steel	Resulting panel steel stresses σxs, σys, τxys (Figure 2d)
strain_stress_steelX	Uniaxial strain and stress of horizontal reinforcement εx, σxxs
strain_stress_steelY	Uniaxial strain and stress of vertical reinforcement εy, σyys
strain_stress_concrete1	Uniaxial strain and stress of concrete strut 1 εc1, σc1
strain_stress_concrete2	Uniaxial strain and stress of concrete strut 2 εc2, σc2
strain_stress_interlock1	Shear strain and stress in concrete along crack 1 εcr1, τcr1 (Figure 2c)
strain_stress_interlock2	Shear strain and stress in concrete along crack 2 εcr2, τcr2 (Figure 2c)
cracking_angles	Orientation of concrete cracks

Note that recorders for a RC panel (marco-fiber) are invoked as SFI_MVLEM element recorders using command RCPanel and one of the desired commands listed above. Currently, it is possible to output values only for one macro-fiber within one or multiple elements.
