CRC Press Structural Concrete Strut-and-Tie Models for Unified Design

This comprehensive guide explores strut-and-tie models (STM) for structural concrete design, bridging the gap between fundamental theory and real-world engineering practice. Packed with state-of-the-art information, the book equips engineers and students with innovative solutions for complex design problems that traditional methods cannot effectively address. From foundational concepts to advanced applications, it provides practical insights into how STM simplifies the design of concrete members under various loading conditions. Whether you're tackling deep beams, corbels, walls, or joints, this resource offers systematic approaches and proven techniques to optimise structural performance. Perfect for practising engineers, academics, and students seeking to expand their design toolkit beyond conventional approaches and apply cutting-edge methodologies to real projects.
