Hello
I am creating this large opening in an existing tall wall and are trying to solve the deep beam behavior that is created.
I have attached how the principle stresses look and the strut-and-tie truss we are using.
I can reinforce above the opening by adding concrete to the sides and adding rebar, but having trouble with the compression node that intersects with the bearing of the column.
The wall is thin above the reinforced portion and with the limited bearing length, the compression strut isn't having enough capacity.
I was thinking maybe I could figure out the fanning or bottle shape of the strut is and increase the area of my strut.
I was wondering whether I could get any feedback on this problem.
Thank you
