Build RC Rect Section

This document defines a procedure to generate a rectangular reinforced concrete section model in OpenSees with a confined core and single layers of reinforcement on the top, bottom and sides. The procedure takes inputs for the section geometry, materials, number and area of reinforcing bars, and fiber discretization and generates a fiber section model with patches for the core and cover concrete and layers of reinforcing steel.

# Formal arguments
#
id - tag for the section that is generated by this procedure
#
HSec - depth of section, along local-y axis
#
BSec - width of section, along local-z axis
#
cH - distance from section boundary to neutral axis of reinforcemen
t

cB - distance from section boundary to side of reinforcement
#
coreID - material tag for the core patch
#
coverID - material tag for the cover patches
#
steelID - material tag for the reinforcing steel
#
numBarsTop - number of reinforcing bars in the top layer
#
numBarsBot - number of reinforcing bars in the bottom layer
#
numBarsIntTot - TOTAL number of reinforcing bars on the intermediat
e layers, symmetric about z axis and 2 bars per layer-- needs to be an even inte

#
barAreaTop - cross-sectional area of each reinforcing bar in top la

#
barAreaBot - cross-sectional area of each reinforcing bar in bottom
layer
#
barAreaInt - cross-sectional area of each reinforcing bar in interm
ediate layer
#

#
nfCoverY - number of fibers in the cover patches with long sides in
the y direction
