Stabwerke und Teilflächenbelastung nach DIN 1045‐1 und Eurocode 2 – Modelle und Anwendungen

Strut‐and‐Tie Models and Concentrated Loading according to DIN 1045‐1 and Eurocode 2 – Modelling and Application Strut‐and‐tie models are efficient tools for the demonstration of load‐bearing characteristics and for the design of reinforced and prestressed concrete structures. The illustration and determination of so called D‐regions is one of the most common areas of application. Another related problem is concentrated loading. In comparison to bending or shear design, the standards DIN 1045‐1 and Eurocode 2 (DIN EN 1992‐1‐1) provide only limited requirements and information for application of strut‐and‐tie models and concentrated loading problems. In praxis, the Engineer has to find possible solutions on basis of the principles given in the standards. The following paper compares the basic information of DIN 1045‐1 and Eurocodes 2 (DIN EN 1992‐1‐1) concerning strut‐and‐tie‐models and concentrated loading problems and gives additional proposals for certain application issues.
