Abstract

This paper presents how to develop visual design tools for construction of strut-and-tie models(S (STM). STMs have shown internal force flows for dimensioning and proportioning of D-regions of reinforced concrete structures. In order to select an appropriate strut-and-tie model some interactive graphic tools are necessary to help designers compare alternatives by changing the geometry of initial STM. This study proposes to use force polygons representing the equilibrium state of STM. The change of STM dynamically shows change of force magnitudes by force polygon. Once the geometry of STM is determined the detailing design process is required in the next procedure.
