This command is used to construct a concrete material based on the Chinese design code.

uniaxialMaterial ConcreteD $matTag $fc $epsc $ft $epst $Ec $alphac $alphat <$cesp> <$etap>

---

$matTag	integer tag identifying material
$fc	concrete compressive strength *
$epsc	concrete strain at corresponding to compressive strength*
$ft	concrete tensile strength *
$epst	concrete strain at corresponding to tensile strength*
$Ec	concrete initial Elastic modulus*
$alphac	compressive descending parameter*
$alphat	tensile descending parameter*
$cesp	plastic parameter, recommended values: 0.2~0.3*
$etap	plastic parameter, recommended values: 1.0~1.3*

NOTE: 1. Concrete compressive strength and the corresponding strain should be input as negative values. 2. The value $fc/$epsc and $ft/$epst should be smaller than $Ec. 3. The default value for $cesp and $etap are 0.25 and 1.15, respectively.

EXAMPLE: Example 1: Simulation of compressive test in Karson and Jirsa (1969).
