Design of deep pile caps by strut-and-tie models
There are many methods for designing pile caps, but there is still no consensus on which one provides the best approach for the practical engineers. In Brazil, many structural designers use the classical Blévot method; however, the applicability of the ...

Automatic design of concrete structures using a strut & tie approach [PDF]
The major part of the work presented in this thesis is an investigation of the strut and tie method for designing 2-D in-plane, reinforced concrete structures. Two important issues relating to this method are addressed.

Modified interactive strut-and-tie model for shear strength prediction of RC corbels
On the basis of the modified Kupfer and Gerstle’s biaxial failure criterion ofconcrete, amodified interactive strut-and-tie model (MISTM) to predict the nominal shear strength of RC corbels was derived and is proposed in this paper.

Design criteria for unified strut and tie models [PDF]
In the past two decades, the concept of strut and tie models (STM) has been used as one of the most popular and rational approaches for the design of non-flexural members of reinforced concrete structures.

On the optimal strut-and-tie models and design approach for the cable-pylon anchorage zone
The cable-pylon anchorage zone is a typical D-region in a cable-stayed bridge, for which there has been no uniform simplified design method until now. In this paper, based on the extensive statistics of actual projects, topology optimization techniques ...

Performance-based optimization for strut-tie modeling of structural concrete
Conventional trial-and-error methods are not efficient in developing appropriate strut-and-tie models in complex structural concrete members. This paper describes a performance-based optimization (PBO) technique for automatically producing optimal strut ...

Experimental investigation of the strut efficiency factor of bottle-shaped struts on local models and reinforced concrete deep beams [PDF]
The design of concrete structural elements with discontinuous stress distribution is often done using strut and tie models and involves the design and detailing of reinforcement, as well as verifying the strength of struts and nodal zones.
