    STRUT AND TIE MODELLING FOR

    STRUCTURAL CONCRETE DESIGN

    The design of reinforced concrete structural elements involves

    either using of a truss model or a strut and tie model. The strut

    and tie model has proved to be very ecient in providing

    reinforcement details for ties and determining the compressive

    stresses in the concrete struts developed in the concrete required

    to prevent crushing of these struts.
