EXAMPLE 5: BEAM WITH INDIRECT SUPPORT AND LOADING. IN: EXAMPLES FOR THE DESIGN OF STRUCTURAL CONCRETE WITH STRUT-AND-TIE MODELS

Inadequate design of indirect supports causes much structural damage and near failure of structural concrete beams. Most codes, including ACI 318, do not properly cover this case. However, strut-and-tie models almost automatically lead to correctly reinforcing these critical discontinuity regions. The example described in this paper combines indirect supports as well as indirectly applied loads, and demonstrates the application of strut-and-tie models following Appendix A of ACI 318-02.
