Description

Description

The Strut-and-Tie Method is an approach to evaluate or design any structural concrete member, or discontinuity region in a member, by modeling the member or region as an idealized truss. The concepts behind the development of the Strut-and-Tie Method (STM) will be presented as well as “What’s New” in the ACI 318-19 code. The session will include the fundamentals of STM as well as practical examples; accordingly, the session is geared toward practitioners and educators who utilize or would like to learn more about the strut-and-tie provisions in the ACI 318 code.
