TY  - JOUR
AB - Strut-and-tie modeling is a simple method of modeling complex stress patterns in reinforced concrete as triangulated models. It is based on the same truss analogy as the design for shear in Eurocode 21 and can be applied to many elements, but is particularly useful where normal beam theory does not apply, or in places where plane sections do not remain plane, such as in deep beams, corbels and pile caps. EC2 provides information about the use of strut-and-tie modeling, which can be useful for engineers who want to take advantage of this useful analysis method.
