    This document contains an executive summary on strut-and-tie modeling (STM) and a table of contents for a report on STM and an example deep beam calculation. STM is used to design D-regions where nonlinear strain distributions occur due to loads or geometry. It models the flow of forces as a truss with compression struts, tension ties, and nodes where they intersect. Deep beams are commonly designed using STM as their behavior involves arch and truss actions transferring load between supports. The example calculation section will demonstrate applying STM to design a deep beam.

    Executive Summary
    Strut-and-tie modeling (STM) is a conservative method used primarily
    to design D-regions of structural components. A nonlinear strain distribution
    exists within D-regions due to a load or geometric discontinuity. The
    assumptions that plane section remains plane used to design regular
    sections does not apply here anymore. The STM procedure is needed to
    design the regions of structures where a nonlinear distribution of strains
    dominates the behavior. Strut-and-tie modeling will always result in a
    conservative solution if the basic design principles are satisfied. During the
    design procedure, a truss model, or strut-and-tie model, is developed to
    represent the flow of forces within a structure. A strut-and-tie model consists
    of compression members referred to as struts, tension members called ties,
    and the regions where these two components intersect is called nodes. Saint
    Venants Principle suggested D-regions. Strut and tie modeling is mainly used
    to design Deep Beams. Behavior of the Deep Beam can be explained by
    considering the load transfer mechanism between the applied load and the
    support. Deep Beam regions are dominated by combination of arch action
    and truss action between the load P and the supports. . In strut and tie
    model, the arch action and the direct load transfer is represented by diagonal
    concrete strut called struts. Struts are in compression and cannot exceed the
    compression strength of the concrete. The Tension member or tie is there to
    balance the compression strut. The strength of the tie cannot exceed the
    tension reinforcement. The joint where strut and tie meet is called nodes.
    Concrete around the nodes is called nodal zones. Nodal zones transfer the
    forces from the inclined struts to other struts, ties, and joints.
