ABSTRACT
The article discusses the strut-and-tie model (STM) at a curved bar node. It states that the new tool for designing connections in reinforced concrete structures provides design guidelines and equations for curved bar nodes, which are not intended as accurate predictors of capacity. It presents a test data indicating that the design recommendations are conservative, however, the research and testing that examine specific performance parameters would allow even more diverse and reliable use of STM with curved-bar nodes. It suggests that curved-bar nodes are a powerful and economical tool for detailing connection regions in reinforced concrete.
