# Build fiber rectangular RC section, 1 steel layer top, 1 bot, 1 skin,
confined core
# Define a procedure which generates a rectangular reinforced concrete s
ection
# with one layer of steel at the top & bottom, skin reinforcement and a
# confined core.

#
# 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
ger
#
barAreaTop - cross-sectional area of each reinforcing bar in top la
yer
#
barAreaBot - cross-sectional area of each reinforcing bar in bottom
layer
#
barAreaInt - cross-sectional area of each reinforcing bar in interm
ediate layer
#
nfCoreY - number of fibers in the core patch in the y direction
#
nfCoreZ - number of fibers in the core patch in the z direction
#
nfCoverY - number of fibers in the cover patches with long sides in
the y direction
#
nfCoverZ - number of fibers in the cover patches with long sides in
the z direction
