This command is used to construct a uniaxial Megalooikonomou-Monti-Santini concrete material object with degraded linear unloading/reloading stiffness according to the work of Karsan-Jirsa and no tensile strength.

$Sj clear spacing of the FRP strips - zero if it's continuous.
$tj total thickness of the FRP jacket.
$eju rupture strain of the FRP jacket from tensile coupons.
$S spacing of the steel spiral/stirrups.
$fyh yielding strength of the steel spiral/stirrups.
$dlong diameter of the longitudinal bars of the circular section.
$dtrans diameter of the steel spiral/stirrups.
$Es elastic modulus of steel.
$vo initial Poisson’s coefficient for concrete.
$k reduction factor for the rupture strain of the FRP jacket, recommended values 0.5-0.8..


NOTES:

• IMPORTANT: The units of the input parameters should be in MPa, N, mm.

• Concrete compressive strengths and the corresponding strain should be input as positive values.

• When rupture of FRP jacket occurs due to dilation of concrete (lateral concrete strain exceeding reduced rupture strain of FRP jacket), the analysis is not terminated. Only a message “FRP Rupture” is plotted on the screen.

EXAMPLES:

Example: Cantilever FRP-Confined Circular Reinforced Concrete Column under Cyclic Lateral Loading

Attach Figure 2 with title below the figure: Cantilever Column Model Definition.

The cantilever column was modeled by a linear beam element with the stiffness corresponding to flexural yielding and a fiber element used to capture the flexural hysteretic behavior at the plastic hinge. The length of the fiber element was assumed to be half of the column’s diameter. A rotational spring at the bottom of the column represents the longitudinal bar pullout from the footing and was assumed to have an elastic stiffness.
