The Preliminary Calculation Process of Strut-and-Tie Model

Article Preview

Abstract:

By briefly introducing the main steps of using strut-and-tie (STM) , this paper showing the preliminary calculation process. In this paper, defining D-region is the very first step in design.Then paper gives the method to calculate the reinforcement needed to meet required tie capacities. In addition, checking the room for struts is also an important step in the calculation. Since it can examine the correctness of the STM designed by engineer.
