Based on strut-and-tie model (STM) in deep beams, steel truss reinforced concrete (STRC) deep beam was developed. Experimental investigations of mechanical performances of STRC deep beams were carried out, and results show that STRC deep beam is of high ultimate bearing capacity, large rigidity and good ductility; Strut-and-tie force transference model is formed in STRC deep beams, and loads can be transferred in the shortest and direct way. Then Steel reinforced concrete (SRC) strut-and-tie model (SSTM) for determining the shear strength of STRC deep beams is proposed. The contribution of SRC diagonal strut, longitudinal reinforcements, stirrups and web reinforcements to the shear strength of STRC deep beams are determined with consideration of softened effects of concrete, and for safe consideration, superposition theory is employed for SRC struts. Computer programs are developed to calculate the shear strength of STRC deep beams and verified by experimental results.

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 use of flat slabs in constructions due to its many functional and economic advantages is wide-spread. Behavior of flat slabs in shear and flexure is a fairly complex problem. Therefore, the punching shear failure belongs to one of the most critical aspects in the design of concrete buildings.The purpose of this paper is to describe a framework of the proposed method for predicting the punching shear of flat slabs with shear reinforcement. Most of the current codes in force are mainly based on empirical formulation. The proposed method is based on a strut-and-tie model and therefore could be considered as an analytical approach. For the purpose of demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed method, the method is compared with some of the main methods currently in use, such as Eurocode EC2, ACI 318 and Model Code 2010. The comparison consists of results of more than 90 experiments on flat slabs with shear reinforcement, gathered from publications from all around the world.

The strut-and-tie method is a rational approach to structural concrete design that results in a uniform and consistent design philosophy. A strut-and-tie model has been developed to model the punching-shear behaviour of thick concrete plates. This model provides a quick and simple approach to check the punching-shear behaviour. Thick concrete slabs (250–500 mm) without shear reinforcement can exhibit brittle shear failure under a central force and an unbalanced moment. Shear reinforcement has proven to be very effective in preventing such failures. The developed strut-and-tie model has also been used to evaluate the minimum shear reinforcement required to prevent brittle shear failure of two-way slabs in the vicinity of concentrated loads. The strut-and-tie model for symmetric punching consists of a “bottle-shaped” compressive zone in the upper section of the slab depth, leading to a “rectangular-stress” compressive zone in the lower section of the slab depth. Inclined shear cracking develops in the bottle-shaped zone prior to failure in the lower zone. Cracking in the bottle-shaped zone is related to the splitting tensile strength of concrete.

The purpose of this paper is to describe a framework of the proposed method for predicting the punching shear of flat slabs with shear reinforcement. The proposed method is based on a strut-and-tie model. Current methods of predicting the punching shear strength of flat slabs could be divided into these categories: models based on empirical equations, physical models, analytical methods and finite element methods. Most of the current codes in force would be best described as empirical formulations. Physical model for prediction of punching shear is described in Model Code 2010. Proposed method for flat slabs with shear reinforcement is based mainly on a strut-and-tie model and therefore could be considered as an analytical method.For the purpose of demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed method, the method is compared with some of the main methods currently in use, such as Eurocode EC2, American code ACI 318 and Model Code 2010. The comparison consists of results of more than 98 experiments of punching shear on the flat slabs with shear reinforcement, gathered from publications from all around the world.

The punching shear behavior of thick reinforced concrete slabs was analyzed in this paper by using strut-and-tie model (S-T). Calculating procedures were compared to our own experimental test results. The analyzed elements were subjected to symmetric loading and without shear reinforcement.

This paper presents a simple strut and tie model to calculate the shear strength of reinforced concrete deep beams. The proposed model assumes that the shear strength is the algebraic sum of three strength components: concrete diagonal strut, vertical stirrups, and horizontal web reinforcements. The contribution of each strength components was calibrated with the test results of 305 deep beams compiled from previous studies with wide range of geometrical and material properties. The predictions of the proposed model were compared with those of the current codes of practice (ACI-318-14 and ASHTOO 2014) and those of existing model in the literature. Comparisons revealed that the proposed model provided better predictions than other models. The mean of predicted strength to test of the proposed model, the ACI-318-14 model, the ASHTOO 2014 model were 0.98, 0.79, and 0.75, respectively. The corresponding standard deviations were 0.17, 0.28, and 0.49, respectively.

A direct strut-and-tie model to calculate the ultimate shear strength of structural walls based on an interactive mechanical model (C.Y.Tang et al.) is presented. Two common failure modes, namely, diagonal splitting and concrete crushing, are examined in this paper. Ultimate shear strengths of structural walls are governed by both the transverse tensile stresses perpendicular to the diagonal strut, and the compressive stresses in the diagonal strut. Such proposed model is verified aganist three experimental case studies of structural walls. Generally, predictions by the proposed model are not only accurate and consistent in each case study, but also conservative.
