Examples for the Design of Structural Concrete with Strut-and-Tie Models
Also Known As:
ACI SP-208:2002 is a standard that provides examples for the design of structural concrete using strut-and-tie models. The standard includes selected papers presented at the 2002 ACI Fall Convention by members of ACI Subcommittee 445-A, Shear and Torsion: Strut-and-Tie Models. These papers demonstrate the application of strut-and-tie modeling in accordance with Appendix A of ACI 318-02, which is a code procedure for designing concrete members when traditional design assumptions for flexure and shear are not applicable.
The examples in ACI SP-208 are based on real-world practice and show engineers how to determine a model and address potential problems in dimensioning, detailing, and anchoring of reinforcement. The standard includes several examples such as deep beam design, dapped end T-beam, corbel at column, beam with opening, prestressed beam, cable stayed bridge pier table, high wall with two openings, and pile cap.
ACI SP-208 also includes sections on the derivation of strut-and-tie models for the 2002 ACI Code, experimental verification of these models, and a summary of the discussion on modeling structural concrete with strut-and-tie models according to Appendix A of ACI 318-02.
