deep beam - strut and tie model
(OP)
Im having some issues modeling a strut and tie model for following case.

Any suggestion?

When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

RE: deep beam - strut and tie model
I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.

just self weight - aprx. 10 kN/m
Also, can you explain how it is that your point loads are applied at 0.8 m?
Timber beams via steel hangers are anchored there (roof). Concentrated loads F1 = F2 = 20 kN

Nothing specific from me. Go with KootK's if it's a new design.
If it's an old wall and you don't know what reinforcement it has, start by looking at the scale of the loads. A 20kN load equates to 180MPa in a single 12mm bar, or 160MPa in a half-inch bar (KootK's hangers). Probably less than that for the main bottom bending moment reinforcement. It may not be worth considering any more than that except out of interest.
It might also be convenient to use a different strut-tie model for the two different loads since a single model doesn't seem to handle both of them very well. Superimpose the results.
