2.1.2 Reinforcement

The reinforcement in a concrete structure can be modeled with the embedded reinforcement types which are available in DIANA [Vol. Element Library]. The constitutive behavior of the reinforcement can be modeled by an elastoplastic material model with hardening. Furthermore, temperature influence on the Young's modulus and thermal expansion coefficient can be taken into account. See §9.5 for the material data input syntax. The structural effect of large displacements can be modeled by the GEOMET analysis command option [Vol. Analysis Procedures].
