Pad footing strut-and-tie model

An independently prepared strut-and-tie calculation is compared with the RKALC STM application for the same geometry, material properties and applied actions.

  • STM geometry, support reactions and force equilibrium
  • Required horizontal tie reinforcement
  • Top-node and support-node capacity checks
  • Left and right concrete strut capacity
  • Bursting reinforcement at ultimate and service conditions
  • Direct comparison with the RKALC calculation report
