Reinforcing Steel Material
$matTag | integer tag identifying material |
$matTag | unique material object integer tag |
$fy | Yield stress in tension (see Figure 1) |
$fu | Ultimate stress in tension |
$Es | Initial elastic tangent |
$Esh | Tangent at initial strain hardening |
$esh | Strain corresponding to initial strain hardening |
$eult | Strain at peak stress |
-GABuck | Buckling Model Based on Gomes and Appleton (1997) |
$lsr | Slenderness Ratio (see Figure 2) |
$beta | Amplification factor for the buckled stress strain curve. (see Figure 3) |
$r | Buckling reduction factor
r can be a real number between [0.0 and 1.0] r=1.0 full reduction (no buckling) r=0.0 no reduction 0.0<r<1.0 linear interpolation between buckled and unbuckled curves |
$gamma | Buckling constant (see Figures 3 and 4) |
