Thanks. and for confined concrete how do you use mander confinement factor (K)? in calculating that I am not sure about the number of spaces between longitudinal spaces? Does it mean between longitudinal spaces which are located between shear reinforcement?

Regards

Dear Federica,

Thans for your help. This topic is related to implementation of a new model to SeismoStruct and is a tedious work. In available materials do you know how do you introduce unconfined concrete? namely cover concrete?

<t>Dear SeismoStruct<br/>
<br/>
I have searched several times in the past discussion, but I could not find the clear answer for my question. It would be appreciated if you tell me could we use any FRP-confined concrete model other than the one introduced in the SeismoStruct?<br/>
<br/>
Kind regards ...

<t>I have searched, but I could not find the answer of my question. I would like to know, is it possible another concrete model instead of the available model? <br/>
another question is that what model do you use for cover (unconfined) model? Do you recommend the simiplified trilinear concrete model ...

is there the possibility to import our concrete model or confined concrete model to the Seismo Struct? I mean what can we do, if we want to use model other than the available models in the software?

Kind regards,
Abolfazl
