The following are sample scripts for using the Pinching Limit State Material and associated limit surface (RotationShearCurve) to simulate the behavior of a shear-critical reinforced concrete column tested by Sezen and Moehle (2006) (Specimen 1).

The scripts below are for a material model and limit surface that are applied to zero-length shear springs in series with fiber-section column elements (see references below for more detail).
