6.strut-Tie Model Guide

This document provides details of a strut and tie model analysis of a pile cap. It includes load combinations, node coordinates and loads, and design of reinforcement ties between nodes. The analysis divides the pier base into 4 nodes and converts beam moments into equivalent vertical loads at the nodes. Tie forces between nodes are determined and required steel reinforcement is calculated and specified.

Combination 1 (construction stage) Notes:-- Analyse this 4-pile group system as a Space Truss with
With gf3 Hinged Supports at 1, 2, 3 & 4 (pile centre points at top of piles)
P 9630 Find out the loads at nodes5/6/7/8 as shown in the spreadsheet.
trans 1570 BM about L-L axis Put these Vertical loads at nodes 5, 6, 7 & 8 (nodes at pier base)
longi mom 1820 BM about T-T axis the idea of choosing 4 points at pier base is to convert the BMs to
vertical loads.

divide the pier base area into 4 equal parts and choose their centre points
as nodal points as shown above
