Abstract:
Various methods are used in designing reinforced concrete brackets. This paper demonstrates the simplifications of truss analogy. A summary of previous work is reviewed. The proposed method was developed using a simplified approach with truss analogy. Test series of 16 investigations are analyzed and calculated according to the proposed method. Two examples demonstrate the recommended design procedure. Some recommendations for the detailing are also discussed.
