This command is used to construct a ReinforcingSteel uniaxial material object. This object is intended to be used in a reinforced concrete fiber section as the steel reinforcing 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)
