In this report, emphasis is placed on the development of a simple constitutive model for reinforced concrete structures consistent with experimental observations. The model is intended for plane-stress conditions and is appropriate for both monotonic and cyclic loads. The model is implemented in a general purpose finite element program (FEAP) developed at University of California, Berkeley.
