Strut-and-Tie Modeling (STM) is a powerful design approach for concrete elements where conventional beam theory is no longer sufficient. This webinar introduces the principles of STM, demonstrating how engineers can model load transfer mechanisms, identify critical force paths, and develop effective reinforcement strategies for complex concrete structures. Through practical examples and code-based guidance, participants will gain insight into applying STM to achieve safer and more efficient designs.
What You’ll Learn:
- Fundamentals of Strut-and-Tie Modeling (STM)
- How to identify load paths and discontinuity regions (D-regions)
- Practical applications of STM for complex concrete structures
