an

The

$tag integer tag identifying material
$secType tag for the transverse reinforcement configurations. See NOTES 1.
$fpc unconfined cylindrical strength of concrete specimen.
$Ec initial elastic modulus of unconfined concrete.
$epscu confined concrete ultimate strain. See NOTES 2.
$gamma value between 0 and 1.0. See NOTES 2.
$nu Poissons Ratio.
$L1 concrete core dimension of square section or diameter of concrete core section measured respect to the hoop center line.
$L2 dimensions of multiple hoops for S4a section type measured respect to hoop center line. See NOTES 4.
$L3 dimensions of multiple hoops for S4a and S4b section types measured respect to hoop center line. See NOTES 4.
$phis hoop diameter. If section arrangement has multiple hoops it refers to the external hoop.

NOTES:

1) The following section types are available:

S1 square section with S1 type of transverse reinforcement with or without external FRP wrapping;
S2 square section with S2 type of transverse reinforcement with or without external FRP wrapping;
S3 square section with S3 type of transverse reinforcement with or without external FRP wrapping;
S4a square section with S4a type of transverse reinforcement with or without external FRP wrapping;
S4b square section with S4b type of transverse reinforcement with or without external FRP wrapping;
S5 square section with S5 type of transverse reinforcement with or without external FRP wrapping;
C circular section with or without external FRP wrapping;
R rectangular section with or without external FRP wrapping.

2) The confined concrete ultimate strain is defined using -epscu or -gamma. If -gamma option, $gamma specified is the ratio of the strength corresponding to ultimate strain to the peak strength of the confined concrete stress-strain curve. If $gamma cannot be achieved in the range [0, $epscuLimit] then $epscuLimit (optional, default: 0.05) will be assumed as ultimate strain.

3) Poisson's Ratio is specified by one of 3 methods: a)providing $nu using the -nu option. b)using the -varUB option in which Poisson’s ratio is defined as a function of axial strain by means of the expression proposed by Braga et al. (2006) with the upper bound equal to 0.5; or c) using the -varNoUB option in which case Poisson’s ratio is defined as a function of axial strain by means of the expression proposed by Braga et al. (2006) without any upper bound.
