Strut-and-tie model (STM) method evolved as one of the most useful designs for shear critical structures and discontinuity regions (D-regions). It provides widespread applications in the design of deep beams as recommended by many codes. The estimation of bottle-shaped strut dimensions, as a main constituent of STM, is essential in design calculations. The application of carbon fibre reinforced...

This paper aims to understand the role of directional material properties on mechanical responses origami structures. We consider Miura-Ori structures our target model due their collapsibility and negative Poisson's ratio (NPR) effects, which are widely used in shock absorbers, disaster shelters, aerospace applications, etc. Traditional made isotropic materials (Aluminum, Acrylic), whose like s...
