This command is used to construct an axial limit curve object that is used to define the point of axial failure for a LimitStateMaterial object. Point of axial failure based on model from Chapter 3. After axial failure response of LimitStateMaterial is forced to follow axial limit curve.


limitCurve Axial $curveTag $eleTag $Fsw $Kdeg $Fres $defType $forType <$ndI $ndJ $dof $perpDirn $delta>

$curveTag unique LimitCurve tag
$eleTag integer element tag for the associated beam-column element
$Fsw floating point value describing the amount of transverse reinforcement <math>(F_{sw} = \frac{A_{st}f_{yt}d_c}{s})</math>
$Kdeg floating point value for the slope of the third branch in the post-failure backbone, assumed to be negative (see Figure 4-6)
$Fres floating point value for the residual force capacity of the post-failure backbone (see Figure 4-6)
$defType integer flag for type of deformation defining the abscissa of the limit curve

1 = maximum beam-column chord rotations

2 = drift based on displacment of nodes ndI and ndJ

$forType nteger flag for type of force defining the ordinate of the limit curve. See NOTES 1.

0 = force in associated limit state material

1 = shear in beam-column element

2 = axial load in beam-column element

$ndI nteger node tag for the first associated node

(normally node I of $eleTag beam-column element)

$ndJ integer node tag for the second associated node

(normally node J of $eleTag beam-column element)

$dof nodal degree of freedom to monitor for drift. See NOTES 2
$perpDirn perpendicular global direction from which length is determined to compute drift. See Notes 2.
$delta drift (floating point value) used to shift axial limit curve


NOTES:

  1. Options 1 and 2 assume no member loads
  2. 1 = X, 2 = Y, 3 = Z
