Strut & Tie (S-T) models are used quite commonly for the analysis of reinforced concrete structures and in the calculation of masonry structures. Creating the S-T model of the confined masonry is slightly different from models of reinforced concrete or models of classic masonry structures. These models should take into account different stiffness of concrete and masonry. This article proposes a Strut & Tie model for the analysis of confined masonry. The results of calculations were compared with the results of tests of full scale masonry walls with and without opening. Good compliance of the calculation results of S-T models with the test results was obtained.

Strut And Tie Model

Based on test results of two full-scale reinforced concrete beam-column joints, carrying capacities of core areas of the joints were calculated and modified based on the strut-and-tie model. The results indicate that the capacities calculated with h-D-regions is smaller than those with h/2-D-regions, and the calculated results with h/2-D-regions agree better with the test results.

Strut And Tie Model

Shear strength prediction of simple deep reinforced concrete beams by method of strut-and-tie model is presented in this paper. The tested specimens were designed according to Appendix A of ACI 318-11 code with variations of shear span-to-effective depth ratios and ratios of horizontal and vertical crack-controlling reinforcement. Test results revealed that at the same shear span-to-effective depth ratio, the various crack-controlling reinforcements significantly influenced on strength reduction coefficients of strut and failure modes. When the shear span-to-effective depth ratios were increased, failure modes changed from splitting diagonal strut to flexural-shear failure. Based on the test results, the proposed model was compared with Appendix A of ACI 318-11code.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate seismic performance of rehabilitated beam-column joint using FRP sheets and Buckling Restrained Braces (BRBs) and provide test data related to rehabilitated beam-column joints in reinforced concrete structures. The seismic performance of total six beam-column specimens is evaluated under cyclic loadings in terms of shear strength, effective stiffness, energy dissipation and ductility. The test results showed wrapping FRP sheets can contribute to increase the effect of confinement and the crack delay. Also retrofitting buckling restrained braces (BRBs) can improve the stiffness and energy dissipation capacity. Both FRP sheets and BRBs can effectively improve the strength, stiffness and ductility of seismically deficient beam-column joints.

Strut And Tie Model

This paper presents the test results on the shear behavior of reinforced concrete deep beams with six steel reinforcement configurations. They were designed in accordance with the method given in the ACI 318-11. The specimens were subjected to the single concentrated loading at mid-span. The horizontal to vertical reinforcement ratios and shear span-to-effective depth ratios were the variables studied. The shear span-to-effective depth ratios of the beam specimen were between 1.5 to 2.0. The strut-and-tie model was used for the analysis. The test results indicated that the first diagonal cracking load and the failure mode were controlled by the horizontal to vertical reinforcement ratios and the shear span-to-depth ratios. The tests consistently gave the strength values slightly less than those calculated by using the ACI model. A modified ACI model for strut-and-tie was thus proposed and was found to accurately fit the experimental results.

Good Agreement

The paper attempts to research the seismic behavior and mechanical mechanisms under repeated low-cycle loading of vertical connections in prefabricated reinforced concrete structures. Eighteen specimens were designed and tested, the test process and the mechanical mechanisms are studied, the seismic behavior of connections is analyzed, and the shear resistance formulas are proposed. The theoretical values based on proposed formulas are good agreement with test results. Under repeated loading, the shear resistance decreases, the connection ductility increases with connecting bar, but decreases with connection width. However, all the connections fail crisply with poor ductility. At sudden-cracking, the shear resistance increases with connecting bar, but changes nonlinearly with connection width. The resistance is composed of attributions of mechanism of diagonal-compressive column (MDCC) and mechanism of compressive friction action (MCFA). After sudden-cracking, the shear resistance is provided by weakened MDCC and dowel action of connecting bars (DACB). It increases with connecting bar and connection width.
