Bottle Shaped Struts

Abstract

Struts are the compression members in a strut-tie model. These carry the compressive forces and stress along the axis of the strut. There are three types of struts namely the prismatic strut, fan-shaped strut and the bottle shaped strut. The present study is on the bottle shaped struts. These bottle shaped struts are formed when the load is applied on a compression member along the axis of the strut. To counter act this, the transverse reinforcement is provided in the strut. In the absence of the transverse reinforcement the bottle shaped strut cannot maintain the equilibrium. According to ACI 318-14 the efficiency factor is 0.75 if the strut having as minimum of 0.3% transverse reinforcement, and 0.6 if it is unreinforced.
