This command is used to construct a uniaxial time-dependent concrete material object with non-linear behavior in compression (REF: Concrete02), nonlinear behavior in tension (REF: Tamai et al., 1988) and creep and shrinkage according to fib Model Code 2010.

matTag (int)

integer tag identifying material

fc (float)

concrete compressive strength (compression is negative)

fcu (float)

concrete crushing strength (compression is negative)

epscu (float)

concrete strain at crushing strength (input as negative)

fct (float)

concrete tensile strength (tension is positive)

Ec (float)

concrete modulus of elasticity at loading age

Ecm (float)

concrete modulus of elasticity at 28 days

beta (float)

tension softening parameter (tension softening exponent)

tD (float)

analysis time at initiation of drying (in days)

epsba (float)

ultimate basic shrinkage strain (input as negative) as per fib Model Code 2010

epsbb (float)

fitting parameter of the basic shrinkage time evolution function as per fib Model Code 2010

epsda (float)

product of ultimate drying shrinkage strain and relative humidity function as per fib Model Code 2010

epsdb (float)

fitting parameter of the basic shrinkage time evolution function as per fib Model Code 2010

phiba (float)

parameter for the effect of compressive strength on basic creep as per fib Model Code 2010

phibb (float)

fitting parameter of the basic creep time evolution function as per fib Model Code 2010

phida (float)

product of the effect of compressive strength and relative humidity on drying creep as per fib Model Code 2010

phidb (float)

fitting parameter of the drying creep time evolution function as per fib Model Code 2010

tcast (float)

analysis time corresponding to concrete casting (in days; minimum value 2.0)

cem (float)

coefficient dependent on the type of cement as per fib Model Code 2010

Note

  1. Compressive concrete parameters should be input as negative values (if input as positive, they will be converted to negative internally).

  2. Shrinkage concrete parameters should be input as negative values (if input as positive, they will be converted to negative internally).
