Required argument

table

A sequence of sequences of Floats specifying the items described below.

Optional arguments

temperatureDependency

A Boolean specifying whether the data depend on temperature. The default value is OFF.

dependencies

An Int specifying the number of field variable dependencies. The default value is 0.

Table data

for dry concrete. The default value is 1.0.
for dry concrete. The default value is a very large number (full shear retention).
for wet concrete. The default value is 1.0.
for wet concrete. The default value is a very large number (full shear retention).
Temperature, if the data depend on temperature.
Value of the first field variable, if the data depend on field variables.
