Column Beam Fiber Section

The document defines section properties for a finite element model including rectangular column, beam, and girder cross sections. It specifies geometric and material parameters like dimensions, reinforcement amounts, and concrete strength. The sections can be either elastic or nonlinear fiber sections, with the appropriate properties defined for each case.
