This command is used to construct a uniaxialMaterial Masonry (Crisafulli, 1997; Torrisi, 2012), which is a uniaxial hysteretic constitutive model for Masonry developed by Crisafulli (1997) and modified by Torrisi (2012).
matTag
(int)integer tag identifying material
Fm
(float)Compression strength of Masonry (Fm<0)
Ft
(float)Tension Strength of Masonry (Ft>0)
Um
(float)Strain at maximum Strength (Um<0)
Uult
(float)Maximum compression strain (Uult<0)
Ucl
(float)Crack Closing strain (Ucl>0)
Emo
(float)Initial Elastic Modulus
L
(float)Initial Length (just add 1.0)
a1
(float)Initial strut area as ratio of initial area (=1)
a2
(float)Ratio of residual strut area as inicitial strut area (Final area / Initial Area)
D1
(float)Strain where strut degradation starts (D1<0)(For strain>D1 Area/Initial Area=a1)
D2
(float)Strain where strut degradation ends (D2<0) (For strain <D2 Area/Initial Area=a2)
Ach
(float)Hysteresis parameter(0.3 to 0.6) See Crisafulli’s thesis
