Abstract:According to foreign codes, a strut-and-tie model of beam ledge is constructed. The flow of forces in beam ledge are analyzed by the strut-and-tie model, and the ties that need to be paid attention to in the design process are defined. The results of the strut-and-tie model are compatible with the experimental results. The strut-and-tie model can predict the ultimate bearing capacity of beam bracket conveniently, reliably and effectively, and provide a reference for the design of beam ledge.
