sh
= Strain in rebar at the onset of strain hardening
u
= Rebar ultimate strain capacity
The rebar yield strain,
y
, is determined from
y
= f
y
/E.
The stress-strain curve has three regions. They are an elastic re-
gion, a perfectly plastic region, and a strain hardening region. Dif-
ferent equations are used to define the stress-strain curves in each
region.
The rebar parametric stress-strain curves are defined by the fol-
lowing equations:

Both the Simple and the Park parametric stress-strain curves have
the option to use Caltrans default strain values for the curves.
Those default values are dependent on rebar size.
With A
s
denoting the area of a rebar, the Caltrans default strains
used by the program are as follows:
u
= 0.090 for A
s
1.40 in

u
= 0.060 for A
s
> 1.40 in

= 0.0075 for 1.80 < A
s
3.00 in
2
sh
= 0.0050 for A
s

In terms of typical bar sizes, the default values are as follows:
u
= 0.090 for #10 (#32m) bars and smaller
u
= 0.060 for #11 (#36m) bars and larger
sh
= 0.0150 for #8 (#25m) bars
sh
= 0.0125 for #9 (#29m) bars
sh
= 0.0115 for #10 and #11 (#32m and #36m) bars
sh
= 0.0075 for #14 (#43m) bars
sh
= 0.0050 for #18 (#57m) bars
Simple Structural Steel Parametric Stress-Strain Curve
The Simple structural steel parametric stress-strain curve has four
distinct regions. They are an elastic region, a perfectly plastic re-
gion, a strain hardening region, and a softening region.

Mander Confined Concrete Ultimate Strain Capacity,
cu
The Mander confined concrete ultimate strain capacity,
cu
, is a
function of the confinement steel. The following figure shows the
Mander stress-strain curves for confined and unconfined concrete.
The difference between the confined and unconfined curves is
shown shaded.
The shaded area shown in Figure 9 represents the additional ca-
pacity provided by the confinement steel for storing strain energy.
