Abstract:
The strut and tie method for waffle slabs relates to computer modeling of waffle slabs to predict strength and mode of failure. The waffle slab strut and tie method utilizes a three-dimensional strut-and-tie model, which is applied to distinct structural features of waffle slabs. Individual ribs in the slab form two-dimensional trusses, which are connected with perpendicular trusses at rib intersections. The geometry of the slab defines the location of nodes for finite element analysis.
