Strut-and-tie model (STM), with its truss analogy, is yet a powerful tool for analyzing and
designing complex prestressed and reinforced concrete structures. Which represents a …

This study looks to propose a hybrid soft computing approach that can be used to accurately
estimate the shear strength of reinforced concrete (RC) deep beams. Support vector …

When employing the strut-and-tie modelling (STM) method in the conceptual design of
reinforced concrete structures, a suitable strut-and-tie (ST) model indicating load transfer …

This paper presents a funicularity-, or alternatively, a funicular arch-based strut-and-tie
model for efficiently designing simple deep beams, particularly those containing …

This research aims to study the effects of the size and location of openings on deep beams.
The analysis of deep beams with openings presents a rather complex problem for …

The most crucial components in the case of roofs with two levels or a variable floor height
are variable depth beams. In order to investigate the flexural behavior of reinforced concrete …

Reinforced concrete link or coupling beams are usually cast integral with wall piers to help
them act as a unit to resist lateral loads. The use of deep beam design in ACI 318-19 …

The development of a strut-and-tie model (STM) using the load path method requires
considering only concentrated loads or reactions. Distributed loads can be lumped into a …

The most crucial components in the case of roofs with two levels or a variable floor height
are variable depth beams. In order to investigate the flexural behavior of reinforced concrete …

This paper presents simple modeling of short and deep coupling beams by application of
the strut-and-tie provisions of ACI 318-19 Ch. 23. For the direct design of short and deep …
