Hi.
Did anybody use reinforced-concrete material in NonLinear problem in Algor 2012?
Material settings:
** Plain concrete material properties

    Young's modulus =  0.3250E+05
    Poisson's ratio =  0.1800E+00
    Mass density =  0.2447E-12
    Failure strength in uniaxial tension =  0.1150E+01
    Failure strength in uniaxial compression =  0.1700E+02
    Constant shear retention factor =  0.7000E+00
    No tension stiffening is defined
    Hardening curve
       Plastic Strain          Stress
           0.0000E+00      0.0000E+00
          NaN              0.1700E+02
    Material model parameters
       A1 =  0.3300E+00
       A2 =  0.9260E+01
       A3 =  0.4130E+01
       A4 =  0.2400E+00
       C0 =  0.5500E+01
       k0 =  0.8800E+00

The solver report:
