Plane Stress Concrete Materials
WARNING .. AT PRESENT CODE AS SUBMITTED DOES NOT APPEAR TO WORK .. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
A number of Reinforced and Prestressed Concrete Plane Stress Materials are available. The ones on this page have been provided the University of Houston and are based on the Cyclic Softened Membrane Model (CSMM). They are capable of modeling the cyclic shear behavior of prestressed and reinforced concrete membranes.
This code has been developed at the University of Houston by: A. Laskar, J. Zhong, Y.L. Mo , and Thomas T.C. Hsu,
This command is used to construct a Reinforced Concrete Plane Stress material object based on Rotating Angle Theory with steel along two directions.
