 STRUT AND TIE MODEL
• STM is the acronym for “Strut and Tie Models”
or “Strut and Tie Methods“. It is a design
method of reinforced concrete structures by
idealizing structural components as truss
models which are composed of axially loaded
members, including compression bearing
members (strut) and tension bearing
members (tie).
 FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS
• It is a computerised method for predicting
how a member reacts to forces other physical
effects. Finite element analysis shows whether
a product will break, wear out or work the
way it was designed. It is called analysis, but in
the product development process, it is used to
predict what's going to happen when the
member is used.
