Hello all,
I have to design a RC corbel that is anchored on the side of a RC shear wall (parallel to the shear wall, see below). This design is quite simple for a RC column, where the truss analogy is well defined. In my case, since the wall in long, I have a hard time figuring out how to define the compressive struts and vertical ties within the wall. So far, I have come up with the idealized truss model shown below. My understanding is that the compressive struts will fan from the node, and that the tension ties will be spread out on a certain width.
Does this seem reasonable? How would you establish the width of the tension tie?
Cheers
