INTRODUCTION TO EXAMPLES FOR THE DESIGN OF STRUCTURAL CONCRETE WITH STRUT-AND-TIE MODELS

The new Appendix A of ACI 318-2002 on strut-and-tie models provides an excellent tool for the design of structural concrete where sectional design procedures for flexure and shear do not apply. This is the case in discontinuity regions, which if not properly detailed, may exhibit structural damage or even brittle failure. This special publication presents examples for the use of strut-and-tie models following Appendix A of ACI 318-2002 for designing discontinuity regions such as corbels, deep beams with and without openings, dapped beam ends, beams with indirect supports, anchorage zones of prestressed members, shear walls with openings, bridge pier tables, and pile caps.
