Abstract:
This paper gives recommendations for the development of truss models and for their application to the ultimate strength and detailing of reinforced concrete members. Three design examples including an idirectly supported continuous beam under variable distributed loads, an eccentrically loaded spandrel beam, and a continuous box-girder subjected to a concentrated movable load illustrate the practical application of truss models.
