Tie Types

The steel ties in a strut-tie model represent the main reinforcing bars, shear reinforcing bars, and supplementary reinforcing bars of a concrete member. Two different types of reinforcing bars in a horizontal layer and up to 4 vertical layers.


The shear reinforcing bars can be divided into horizontal, vertical, and inclined reinforcing bars. The information on the shear reinforcing bars is required.  



For the horizontal or vertical supplementary reinforcing bars, the number of legs and layers must be assigned.
