Abstract:
This paper presents the current code provisions on strut-and-tie analysis and design of disturbed regions of deep concrete beams reinforced with fiber-reinforced polymer reinforcing (FRP) bars. A literature review of the large-scale experiments published to date is included with a comparison of their results to strut-and-tie predictions. Several published works have recommended modifications to strut-and-tie provisions for FRP reinforced deep beams, and those modifications are summarized within this paper.
