A Three-Span Concrete Beam Is Built Monolithically, with Continuous Reinforcement Placed Only in the Bottom of the BeamHow Will this Beam Perform Under Service Loads? and at Ultimate?

8.9Observations
Reinforcement Becomes Active After Concrete CracksRedistribution of Internal Stresses Occurs After Concrete CracksAfter Cracking, Concrete Structures Behave the Way they Are ReinforcedFor Best Serviceability, the Reinforcement Must Follow the Flow of Elastic Tensile Stresses

8.14Basic Description of theStrut-and-Tie Model
A design tool for “disturbed” regions where the flow of stresses is non-uniform and the usual rules of analysis do not applyA rational approach to visualize the flow of forces at the strength limit state based on the variable-angle truss analogyA unified approach that considers all load effects simultaneouslyA highly flexible and conceptual method that recognizes that several possible solutions may exist for any problem

8.19Basic Concepts
Visualize a truss-like system to transfer load to the supports where:• Compressive forces are resisted by
concrete “struts”• Tensile forces are resisted by steel
“ties”• Struts and ties meet at “nodes”
For best serviceability, the model should follow the elastic flow of forces

Procedures for Load Path Approach
Find reactionsSubdivide loads and internal forces- Replace stresses with resultants- Replace asymmetrical stresses with
couple and resultantProvide struts and ties to provide load pathLocate ties using practical dimensions

8.32Examples of Good and Poor Strut-and-Tie Models
8.33Factors Affecting Size of Strut
Width of the strut is affected by:• Location and distribution of reinforcement (tie)
and its anchorage• Size and location of bearing
8.34Strut-and-Tie vs. Traditional Analysis/Design
Traditional section analysis/designLinear strain over member depthUniform shear stress distributionNot valid for D-regions

8.36LRFD 5.2 - Definitions
Strut-and-Tie Model - A model used principally in regions of concentrated forces and geometric discontinuities to determine concrete proportions and reinforcement quantities and patterns based on assumed compression struts in the concrete, tensile ties in the reinforcement, and the geometry of nodes at their points of intersection
8.375.6.3.1 D-RegionsStrut-and-tie models may be used to
determine internal force effects near supportsand the points of application of concentrated loads at strength and extreme event limit states.
The strut-and-tie model should be considered for the design of deep footings and pile caps or other situations in which the distance between the centers of applied load and the supporting reactions is less than about twice the member thickness.
8.385.8.1.1 D-RegionsComponents in which the distance from
the point of zero shear to the face of the support is less than 2d, or components for which a load causing more than ½ of the shear at a support is closer than 2d from the face of the support, may be considered to be deep components for which the provisions of Article 5.6.3 and the detailing requirements of Article 5.13.2.3 apply.
8.39Strength Limit State for STM
Pr = ϕ Pn (5.6.3.2-1)
where:
Pr = Factored resistance
Pn = Nominal resistance of strut or tie
ϕ = Resistance factor for tension or compression (5.5.4.2)
8.40
LRFD 5.6.3.3Unreinforced strut:
Pn = fcu Acs (5.6.3.3.1-1)
Reinforced strut:
Pn = fcu Acs + fy Ass (5.6.3.3.4-1)
where:ϕ = 0.70 for compression in strut-and-tie models
(LRFD 5.5.4.2.1)Acs= effective cross-sectional area of strut
