Author: K. Bergmeister & J. E. Breen& J. O. Jirsa& M. E. Kreger | Size: 8.30 MB | Format: PDF | Quality: Original preprint | Publisher: CENTER FOR TRANSPORTATION RESEARCH | Year: May 1993 | pages: 318
IMPLEMENTATION STATEMENT
This report provides detailed background, specific recommendations and comprehensive examples to illustrate applications of strut-and-tie models for detailing structural concrete. It outlines the basis for detailing complex and unusual structural applications and provides a practical way of extending results of sophisticated analyses (such as finite element results) to determining practical construction details. A series of specific recommendations are provided for determining node dimensions for typical node applications as well as determining limiting node stresses considering confinement present. The report is aimed at improving the ability of design engineers to provide proper reinforcement and anchorage details in complex and/or unfamiliar design applications. Usage of these procedures should improve the behavior of concrete structures, allow more efficient use of reinforcement and result in lower maintenance and repair expenditures.
A series of design examples are presented to illustrate typical applications.
Study of these examples should greatly improve familiarity of design personnel with strut-and-tie models for detailing structural concrete.
