Strut-and-tie models
In contrast to the B-regions (or main regions) introduced before, alocal region is a portion of the structure, where there is a strongvariation of stresses and strains
These regions are also referred to as D-regions, where D stands fordiscontinuity, disturbance or detail
Typical D-regions are: connections between a beam and a column

b) Introduce a self-equilibrating state of stress which, if superimposedon the fictitious structure, allows to satisfy the boundary conditions.

In this case, the beam would be considered slender (L 4h) on the basisof the usual limits for beams; the point load, however, increases theextension of the D-regions.

17General procedure for modelling
Generally, it is very time-consuming to model a whole structure bymeans of a truss; the first important thing to do is to understandwhether there are more B-regions or D-regions.
Most structures contain a substantial part of B-regions: beams and continuous frames slabs and shells
For the above-mentioned cases a linear elastic analysis is sufficient,
2D and 3D Structural Elements A.Y. 2009/2010
and allows to evaluate the generalized forces (N, M, V and T) at eachsection of the structure. If there are D-regions (e.g. the corners in a frame), the sectional
forces can be used as boundary conditions for a detailed study of thedisturbed portion of the structure.
If the structure consists of a single D-region (e.g. a deep beam) thensolving for the sectional forces is not necessary, and only theprocedures outlined in the following should be applied.

18Modelling of individual D-regions
If a D-region is in the uncracked state, standard methods of analysiscan be used (typically linear elastic finite elements analysis).
If the tensile stresses in individual D-regions exceed the tensilestrength of concrete, the inner forces can be determined as follows:1. A strut-and-tie model is developed, by condensing the continuous
stress fields (in compression and tension) into resultant straightlines.
2D and 3D Structural Elements A.Y. 2009/2010
2. The strut and tie forces are calculated, on the basis of the typicalprocedures used for trussworks.
3. The struts and ties are dimensioned, together with the nodes, inaccordance to the materials properties, and with dueconsideration of crack width limitations.
4. Generally, the struts are represented by stress flows in theconcrete , and the ties by the reinforcing bars .

Note that the previous stress flow is a good representation of thebehaviour of the deep beams at ultimate; therefore, this type ofanalysis is most suited for the ultimate conditions; its application tothe serviceability limit states is more questionable...

21The Load Path Method
First, the outer equilibrium of the considered D-region has to besatisfied, by determining all the loads and reactions (support forces)acting on it.
The stress diagram is then subdivided in such a way, that the loadson one side of the structure find their counterpart on the other.
An important thing to consider is that, generally, the load paths tend tobe of minimum length; therefore, they do not cross each other.

23Model optimization
Being based on the lower bound theorem of plasticity, the Load PathMethod allows multiple solutions for one single problem.
Once a model is chosen, an open question is whether the givenproblem has been solved in the most proper way
It is useful to remember that the loads flow along the pathcharacterized by the least forces and deformations; since thedeformability of ties (usually represented by rebars) is by far largerthan that of concrete struts, the model with the least and shortest

27Dimensioning of struts, ties and nodes
The load transfer has to be ensured not only through a properdimensioning of the struts and ties, but also by checking the loadtransfer between the different elements.
A close relationship can be established between the detailing of thenodes, and the flow of forces through the members of the model (bethey struts or ties).
Therefore, it is mandatory to check whether the model assumed is still

Struts and ties
The T s forces (ties) are essentially linear; on the contrary, C c (and T c,if they are taken into account) are 2-D or 3-D stress fields, spreadingout across finite zones of concrete, from one node to the other.
The spreading of the struts implies transverse tensile andcompressive stresses, that must properly be accounted for.

Other examples of struts bulging
The struts in the model are resultants of the stress fields. Generally, the curvatures and deviations of the forces are
concentrated at the nodes, connecting straight elements. It may be argued, however, that this idealization of the reality is too
crude; the nodes can then be smeared over a larger portion of thestructural element.

33Main findings on concrete strength
Transverse compression is favourable, especially if it acts in bothtransverse directions, as it is the case in confined regions. A properconfinement degree can be attained by:
having some bulk concrete surrounding the stressed region; providing transverse reinforcement (stirrups, spirals).

35Main findings on compression softening
Transverse tensile stresses and the ensuing cracks are detrimental. The compressive strength is greatly reduced, if the transverse tension
causes cracks parallel to the principal compression stresses ( thecompression prisms between the cracks are narrow and ragged).
Cracks which are not parallel to the principal compressive stressesare particularly detrimental.

The maximum resistant bending moment at midspan is
Mmax = fcbd 2 /4 = f yAsd/2
Since concrete stresses are everywhere below (or equal to) thecompressive strength, and steel is at its yield point, this stressdistribution gives a lower bound of the ultimate load.

The outward displacement at the ends of the beam, as well as theinward displacement at midspan, can be thought of as crushing ofthe compressed concrete (caused by the loading and end plates).
The equation of virtual works becomes:
P u = (2 bd/2 d/L + bd/2 2 d/L ) fc
P u = fcbd 2 /2

The static and the kinematic approach give the same value ofthe ultimate load; therefore, this is the exact value of thecollapse load.

and quick.

1. The reaction forces are determined, by means of simple equilibriumequations.
2. A FE analysis of the structure is carried out, assuming a linear elasticbehaviour, in order to highlight the stress distribution.
3. The structure is subdivided into two parts, whose dimensions aredetermined on the basis of the values of the reaction forces; on thesetwo parts, equilibrium in the vertical direction is enforced.
2D and 3D Structural Elements A.Y. 2009/2010
4. Across the subdivision line (characterized by V = 0) the interaction
between the two parts is enforced, by enforcing the horizontalequilibrium.
5. The structure is then represented by a series of struts and ties; theaxial forces of these elements is determined using simple equilibrium
equations.6. Once the axial force in each element of the model is calculated, the
ties and struts can be dimensioned/checked.
