Bridge Pier – Hammerhead Bent Cap

The paper will present the design of a hammerhead bent cap. The design is performed according to the American Concrete Institute (ACI) 318 Appendix A Strut-and-Tie Modeling (STM) provisions. This paper presents a design example for designers who do not have a large amount of experience with strut-and-tie modeling. Strut-and-tie modeling is relatively new to ACI 318 as provisions were first included in the 2002 edition. The procedure may be used for the design of both reinforced and prestressed concrete structures.
