Definition

A design model for reinforced concrete discontinuity regions (regions with disturbed stress flow such as deep beams, corbels and dapped ends) that idealizes the internal force transfer as a truss composed of compressive struts, tensile ties and nodal regions to determine reinforcement layout and required concrete capacity consistent with equilibrium and compatibility.
