This command is used to construct a uniaxial Kent-Scott-Park concrete material object with degraded linear unloading/reloading stiffness according to the work of Karsan-Jirsa and no tensile strength. (REF: Fedeas).

uniaxialMaterial Concrete01 $matTag $fpc $epsc0 $fpcu $epsU

---

$matTag	integer tag identifying material
$fpc	concrete compressive strength at 28 days (compression is negative)*
$epsc0	concrete strain at maximum strength*
$fpcu	concrete crushing strength *
$epsU	concrete strain at crushing strength*

NOTE:

• Compressive concrete parameters should be input as negative values.

• The initial slope for this model is (2*$fpc/$epsc0)

Typical Hysteretic Stress-Strain Relation for material

EXAMPLE:

uniaxialMaterial Concrete01 1 -4.0 -0.002 0.0 -0.005; # the concrete material with tag 1 reaches compressive strength of 4.0 at strain of 0.002 and reaches ultimate strength of 0.0 at strain of 0.005.
