Development of strut-and tie model for carbon fibre reinforced polymer strengthened deep beams

Deep beams are commonly used in tall building, offshore structures and foundations. According to many codes and standards, strut-and-tie models (STM) are recommended as a rational approach to analyse discontinuity regions (D-regions) and consequently deep beams. Since the last decade, strengthening...
