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 ...

Project conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration, and the Texas Department of Transportation 16. Abstract The findings of a literature review of topics related to the anchorage of headed reinforcement are presented. The topics are grouped in three broad categories: conventional anchorage of reinforcement, anchorage of headed reinforceme...
