Abstract

This article deals with a nonlinear analysis of the detail of the dapped-end beam, the design of which in practice usually employs the design procedures based on the strut-and-tie method. The article is a follow-up to the contribution released in 2014 which presented the experiment carried out with a view to verify the design procedure and to the study showing the influence of the used amount of vertical and inclined hanger reinforcement on the bearing capacity and behaviour of the detail under load. The experiment also included the tests of material properties performed on the used concrete. Along with the inspection certificates issued for the used reinforcement, these tests served as a basis for the nonlinear finite element analysis by the ATENA software. This article presents and compares the results of the aforementioned analysis and experiment.
