Prediction of Shear Strength of PPFRC Moderate Deep Beams Using Strut-and-Tie Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
Strut-and-tie is a system of forces' distribution in the form of "load-path" connectivity from the applied load point to the support point. Strut-and-Tie Method (STM) has been developed based on simple truss model. STM models represent the load carrying mechanism of a structural member by approximating the flow of internal forces by means of struts representing the flow of compressive stresses and ties representing the flow of tensile stresses. IS 456: 2000, along with other various codes of different countries, classifies the beam into three categories; namely normal beam, moderate deep beam, and deep beam, according to their span to depth ratios. The aim was to provide a systematic and comprehensive study on the shear strength of Polypropylene Fiber Reinforced Concrete (PPFRC) moderate deep beams without web reinforcement and to compare experimental result of shear strength with theoretical result by STM of PPFRC. Experimental results of ultimate shear strength are compared with the theoretical results calculated from formula of STM given by various source such as ACI 318-08, Nielsen (1984), and Schlaich et al. (1987). We found that the experimental value and theoretical value by STM are within 15% variation range for all types of beams.

Strut-and-Tie Method for Prediction of Ultimate Shear Capacity of Shear-Strengthened RC deep beams with FRP
The main objective of this study is to propose the Strut-and-Tie method (STM) to predict the shear capacity of simply supported RC deep beams shear-strengthened with carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP). It is assumed that, the total carried shear force by shear-strengthened RC deep beam provided by three independent resistance, namely diagonal concrete strut due to Strut-and-tie mechanism, ...

متن کاملA Simple Approach to Predict the Shear Capacity and Failure Mode of Fix-ended Reinforced Concrete Deep Beams based on Experimental Study
Reinforced Concrete (RC) deep beams are commonly used in structural design to transfer vertical loads when there is a vertical discontinuity in the load path. Due to their deep geometry, the force distribution within the RC deep beams is very different than the RC shallow beams. There are some strut and tie model (STM) already been developed for RC deep beams. However, most of these models are ...

Strut-and-Tie Models (STM) for the design of concrete beams, comprising of struts, ties, nodes as the basic tools, is conceptually simple, but its realization for complex concrete structure is not straightforward and depends on flow of internal forces in the structure. STM technique has won wide acceptance for deep member and shear design. STM technique is a unified approach that considers all ...
