Experimentally Validated Compatibility Strut and Tie Modeling of Reinforced Concrete Bridge Piers

A compatibility-based strut-and-tie model C-STM is proposed for analyzing deep beams and disturbed regions with particular emphasis on reinforced concrete bridge piers. In addition to the normal strut-and-tie force equilibrium requirements the model accounts for non-linear behavior through displacem...
