Introduction of the Application of Strut-and-Tie Model in Concrete Deep Beams

Article Preview

Abstract:

By briefly introducing the features and development of strut-and-tie model (STM) , this paper reveals the advantages of designing deep beams with this method. The procedures of designing reinforced concrete deep beams are introduced in this paper as well. In addition, the key issues, such as how to determine the appropriate STM model, how to calculate member forces and the consideration about web splitting are discussed to ensure the introduction of STM in concrete is comprehensive.
