fpc float concrete compressive strength at 28 days (compression is negative)
epsc0 float concrete strain at maximum strength
fpcu float concrete crushing strength
epsU float concrete strain at crushing strength
lamda float ratio between unloading slope at epscu and initial slope
ft float tensile strength
Ets float tension softening stiffness (absolute value) (slope of the linear tension softening branch)

NOTE:

  • Compressive concrete parameters should be input as negative values.
  • The initial slope for this model is (2*\(fpc/\)epsc0)
