I dont think I am minimizing work here. No one is going to use strut and tie for the full flat slab design, would you?
Like I said, my intention here is to design the D region due to offset column by using strut and tie. I can develop different Strut tie model to suit but the question here is...
I understand what you mean but the slab is going to be designed by contractor. I am just checking the D region non flexural design and the end condition varies. If I develop the full truss model considering supports at far ends that will be too much work and it is thus not my intention.
I just...
Thanks for your response.
I can extend the truss model depending on the end condition of the slab. Refer below as an example.
However, my intention here is to solve the equilibrium by hand and that's why I made the above simplified model.
The question I have here is how do I design to vertical...
I am using STM for this offset column to flat slab analysis and design and wondering how to design to this vertical tie? If I use one way shear Vu will not be sufficient so I have to use vertical ties. However it doesn't convince me that I need vertical tie here. The reason being, if the column...
