The strut-and-tie model (STM) method is useful for the limit state design of reinforced concrete (RC) corbels. However, rational RC corbels, designers must accurately determine strengths struts and nodal zones to check strength conditions a selected STM anchorage reinforcing bars in zones. In this study, authors suggested numerical process determining corbel STMs. technique incorporates two-dim...

Strut-and-tie is a system of forces' distribution in the form of "load-path" connectivity from the applied load point to the support point. Strut-and-Tie Method (STM) has been developed based on simple truss model. STM models represent the load carrying mechanism of a structural member by approximating the flow of internal forces by means of struts representing the flow of compressive stresses ...

It is observed that, reinforced concrete beams failed due to flexure but in case of deep beam failure occur due to shear. Deep beams may be defined as the beam where shear span to depth ratio less than 2. A number of researchers already proposed various approach to predict the ultimate strength of deep beams. In this study a newer approach is developed to calculate the ultimate shear strength o...
