Methodology• STM is complex for daily design and analysis.

– Engineers unfamiliar with the STM– No checks for invalid/inefficient model– Iterative process: significant time for each model

• Explored innovative strategies to reduce the complexity to a level sim. to the sectionalmethod.

• Developed STM‐CAP (Strut and Tie Method forpier CAPs)

13

STM‐CAP• About 16 modules and 5,000 lines of code.• Embedded into spreadsheet.

Conclusion

32

• Developed a specialized STM tool for pier cap, STM‐CAP.– Uses VBA coding to provide a graphical solution.– Permits quick and easy optimization.– Teaches users the correct use of STM.– Runs very fast (modeling + analysis time).– Helps with load rating as well as rehabilitation decisions. 

• Validated the accuracy of STM‐CAP.• Demonstrated that the sectional method underestimates the shear capacity of deep pier caps (up to 3 times).

• Accuracy: NLFEA > STM‐CAP > Sectional Method        Time: STM‐CAP ≈ Sectional Method <<< NLFEA.
