Abstract
The presentation will discuss the basic principles for the design of reinforced concrete (RC) bridge components using strut-and-tie modeling (STM). Updated STM design provisions developed based on an extensive research project that included large-scale tests on deep beam specimens will soon be incorporated into the AASHTO LRFD specifications. The updated provisions will be introduced during this presentation. Attendees are expected to gain confidence in the implementation of STM for the design of RC bridge components.
