strut and tie model and punching shear
strut and tie model and punching shear
(OP)
I have to design a beam to support large point load (column over) which is about 0.5m from the support (column under).
If I use strut and tie model to design this area, am I still required to check for punching shear because the reaction is quite large. (I'm not too familiar with STM method).
Thanks

Will I still have to check for punching shear with STM?
Thanks
RE: strut and tie model and punching shear
But basically you will have to ensure that all main rebar, stirrups and concrete remain within the surmised limits of the code.

There are some special ACI provisions for a "regular" beam if the concentrated load is located less than a distance d from the support, but this will not apply in the S and T model.
