This course material aims to provide fundamental knowledge of strut-and-tie modeling starting from Basic Principles. The author hopes that this material will be useful not only for students but also practicing engineers to gain understanding in this topic and lead to improvement in their practices. Since the method is based on lower bound theorem of plasticity, it can be assured to deliver safe designed structure.
