Hey. Really nice tutorial! At 27:31 you show how to calculate and use a distributed tie for the vertical reinf. But after that you actually design your tie with 4 legs instead of distributing the 134 kN on a couple of legs @200 Anyway thanks
Good point. We did two models here. Model 2 has one vertical tie that bundles all shear reinforcement. At 27:31, Rafael is showing a third modeling strategy where you distribute the shear reinforcement. This would be Model 3. You should determine whether Model 3 is needed for your beam. It will reduce the angles of struts and thus their utilization ratios. If you have no overloads in your struts, you don't probably need lower strut stresses and thus no need for Model 3. Realize that Model 3 will take more effort than Model 2. In short, you should judge your situation before proceeding from Model 1 to Model 2 to Model 3. I hope this helps.

Thanks for the excellent presentation. It looks like the node region stress check was not discussed. Can you elaborate a bit on that? How important is the nodal region stress check if all the struct and ties checked ok?
Thanks for your interest. Nodal checks are one of the most important aspects of the STM and perhaps the most time-consuming task. A computer program like CAST can make it easier and faster. Rafael shows the results at the end of the video but there is no in-depth discussion on nodal checks in this video. I have a few other videos on the channel where I did nodal checks manually. Please check out other videos. Please consider subscribing our channel to both support us and get notified of new videos.

Dear Kamal, thanks for your kind comments. I do not have any link for CAST since it is not our software. I am guessing that you can find it online after a thorough search.
Ahmed, b-c joint modeling is another application of STM. You should be careful with developing a valid and efficient model. Best to look for published models from trustable sources. The instability error is most likely related to your support restraints. Ensure you have properly connected at least three restraints.
Yes, you can but when you are checking the strut capacity you should use the smallest width. What you suggest may be beneficial if there is an overload in one node while the strut capacity is sufficient. If you can use a larger width for that node, you may eliminate the overload.
Hi there, Awesome video, thanks a lot for that! A small question: Is it possible to create steel reinforcement with different strengths? In my model i have steel with a strength of 500 MPa, but i also have some high strength steel reinforcements with a strength of 1000 MPa. I can only find the option to change all my reinforcements strenght, can this be right?
No difference for this beam since no struts are available at the top. For multiple point loads, there will be a compression strut at the top, and you may model it as a 'reinforced strut.' This will give more capacity to that strut. If that strut does not govern the analysis, no change will occur in the results whether to consider compression reinforcement or not.

Hocam iyi günler. 3.sınıf inşaat mühendisliği öğrencisiyim. Araştırma konum "strut and tie model" henüz betonarme dersi almadığım için daha rahat anlamamı sağlayacak herhangi bir makale ya da kaynak (ingilizce veya türkçe) önerebilir misiniz?
Strut-and-tie method is typically covered in the textbooks of Reinforced Concrete Design. You may check out Prestressed Concrete Structures by Collins and Michell. It is an excellent resource to add into your library. Reinforced Concrete: Mechanics and Design by Wight and MacGregor. I don't think one can truly understand the STM without a decent understanding on reinforced concrete design, so you may wish to revisit all these once you complete the concrete design course. Good luck!
Thank you for this very very useful video, and i hope you make more explaining beams with openings,but for now could you provide me with a source to gain more info on how to construct different trusses or any data you think could help.thanks in advance
STM modeling is a world on its own and there are ample examples and information available. You may do a Google search on STM Modeling of beams, etc. to find pdf documents. I recall seeing an FHWA document with many examples. ACI related documents should have a beam with opening.

You saved me from depression!
productive video with an excellent explanation, thank you Serhan!
Awesome video brother, you explained the CAST and the code clearly.
Excellent Presentation.

Great suggestion!
How can I download this software?
Thank you, Omar, for your interest. CAST is a third-party software. You may do an online search to find it.
Many thanks for you. I am trying to find CAST, but I couldn"t , Could you please send me a link for CAST software ..

I construct beam column joint but i have problems when model goes to run , it gave me error due to unstabilty .. may you help me to solve this problem

This program is free to use right and can be used for academic purposes and research?
You may be able to find this as a freeware if you search online.
I have a question: can we define the struts such that the width on top would be different than the bottom?
Yes, you can but when you are checking the strut capacity you should use the smallest width. What you suggest may be beneficial if there is an overload in one node while the strut capacity is sufficient. If you can use a larger width for that node, you may eliminate the overload.

I can only find the option to change all my reinforcements strenght, can this be right?
Yes, you can at different location. For the same location, you may take weighted average as SUM (area*fy)/total area.
Goodnight.
Could you explain how to draw the model using the coordinates? To make a drawing with broken measurements, for example: 228.5 mm.
Thanks for your interest in our video. I hope your issue is resolved.
How different the STM modelling would be in a beam with compression reinforcement?
No difference for this beam since no struts are available at the top. For multiple point loads, there will be a compression strut at the top, and you may model it as a 'reinforced strut.' This will give more capacity to that strut. If that strut does not govern the analysis, no change will occur in the results whether to consider compression reinforcement or not.

Hi Sir, Can you tell me name of software in this video, (exactly name) .Thanks
CAST (Computer Aided Strut-and-Tie) Design Tool
Awesome
Sir, how can we assign distributed load in Vector2(Formwork plus) to beams?
You will have a dense mesh with VecTor2. You can assign a point load to the nodes based on a tributary area approach.
How to make your structure stable in second example?
You need to add at least three restraints. If you receive errors, try deleting and re-drawing struts and ties.
sir, can i u share me the link of that software please?
i mean can u share me
