Hello, I would like to know if there is a background document for the Generic Hysteretic Model (hyst_mat) material. I would like to know how the different input parameters are used in the calculated local response of this material.

Thank you,
Felipe

Thank you for your answer!, I will be waiting for the 2022 version.

Hi, I have just sent you one of my models with the KSP concrete issue.

Thank you,
Felipe

No, I even checked the very same problem with con_ma (Mander) and con_tl (Trilinear) and in those cases I am getting an increase in max compressive stress due to confinement, but when I checked the same concrete fibers modeled with con_ksp, there is no effect in the confinement. I have tried with ...

No, in fact I checked the entire stress history response of an unconfined and confined concrete with con_ksp, and the stresses are nearly similar in the whole history. I wanted to use the con_ksp model because I was looking to regularize the concrete material to reduce localization issues (equal ...

Thank you for your answer.

I analyzed my model again, and I am still getting nearly the same stresses when comparing unconfined and confined fibers. I did the same analysis but using Mander concrete model, and in this case I am getting larger peak stress values associated with the confinement in ...

Hi, regarding the Kent-Scott-Park concrete model (KSP), How the software take into account the confinement?. I have tried to use the KSP concrete model but I obtained the same local stress-strain response of a confined and unconfined fiber in a rectangular RC column. This occurs despite increasing ...
