EXAMPLE 2: DAPPED-END T-BEAM SUPPORTED BY AN INVERTED T-BEAM. IN: EXAMPLES FOR THE DESIGN OF STRUCTURAL CONCRETE WITH STRUT-AND-TIE MODELS

At the ends of dapped-end beams, the transfer of load from the support into the beam is a D-region. The strut-and-tie model is excellent for modeling this type of region. In a number of applications (e.g., parking structures), dapped-end beams are used in conjunction with inverted T-beams. At each point where the load of the dapped-end beam sets on the inverted T-beam, A D-region is formed. The example presented in this paper used ACI 318-02 Appendix A to design both the end region of the dapped-end beam as well as the tie back and vertical reinforcement needed for each point on the inverted T-beam. Conventional B-regions in the dapped-end beam are designed by conventional ACI beam design.
