ShearRetention object

The ShearRetention object defines the reduction of the shear modulus associated with crack surfaces in a Concrete model as a function of the tensile strain across the crack.

The following topics are discussed:

Access

materialApi.materials()[name].concrete().shearRetention()

ShearRetention(...)

This method creates a ShearRetention object.

Path

materialApi.materials()[name].concrete().ShearRetention

Prototype

odb_ShearRetention&
ShearRetention(const odb_SequenceSequenceDouble& table,
               bool temperatureDependency,
               int dependencies);

Required arguments

table

An odb_SequenceSequenceDouble specifying the items described below.

Optional arguments

temperatureDependency

A Boolean specifying whether the data depend on temperature. The default value is false.

dependencies

An Int specifying the number of field variable dependencies. The default value is 0.

Table data

  • ϱclose for dry concrete. The default value is 1.0.

  • εmax for dry concrete. The default value is a very large number (full shear retention).

  • ϱclose for wet concrete. The default value is 1.0.

  • εmax for wet concrete. The default value is a very large number (full shear retention).

  • Temperature, if the data depend on temperature.

  • Value of the first field variable, if the data depend on field variables.

  • Value of the second field variable.

  • Etc.

Return value

A ShearRetention object.

Exceptions

RangeError.

Members

The ShearRetention object has members with the same names and descriptions as the arguments to the ShearRetention method.
