Tribby3d is looking better and better. Congrats Emil! ReoChecka https://reochecka.com.au/

What methods do you use for designing non-flexural elements with strut and tie modelling? It seems like there are a variety of approaches involving a mixture of hand calcs, spreadsheets and software used by Australian structural engineers and I'm interested in the pros and cons of each...

This is how I've done it. As Sydney sits on sandstone the length to depth ratio of foundations indicates the governing behaviour should be classified as non-flexural and designed to section 12. In the context of flexural elements, shear failure doesn't apply as the stress fields are non...

It's also worth noting that the qualitative language of 'minor', 'moderate' and 'strong' rather than quantitative intervals reflects the uncertainty in the underlying theory. ReoChecka https://reochecka.com.au/

Hi Ross P, It's not that an ECD1 structure would not need to comply with AS3600-2018, but that clause 5.3 of 1170.4 is based on a theory that does not model the behaviour of a structure that is <12m under earthquake loads. You are still in compliance with AS3600-2018. ReoChecka...
