A truss model with variable angle of inclination of the diagonal struts can be used in the design of reinforced and prestressed concrete members. Concrete failure can be due to crushing of the bending compression zone or of the concrete diagonals. As a result, the average diagonal compression stress fd could be controlled by limiting the nominal shear stress.

Proposed Design Procedures for Shear and Torsion in Reinforced and Prestressed Concrete Ramirez_part23
A truss model with variable angle of inclination of the diagonal struts can be used in the design of reinforced and prestressed concrete members. Concrete failure can be due to crushing of the bending compression zone or of the concrete diagonals. As a result, the average diagonal compression stress fd could be controlled by limiting the nominal shear stress.

diagonal strut is located at the web center (z/2). Thus, it may be
resisted by equal additional forces in the top and bottom chords of the chosen truss model. 2.4.5 Checking the Web Concrete Stresses. The use of the truss model with variable angle of inclination of the diagonal struts in the design of reinforced and prestressed concrete members requires that the steel reinforcement yield prior to failure of the concrete in compression. Concrete failure can be due to crushing of the bending compression zone or of the concrete diagonals. As explained in Sec. 2.3 of Report 248-3, the restrictions on longitudinal reinforcement as a fraction of balanced reinforcement based on simultaneous yielding of the longitudinal steel and crushing of the concrete in the case of pure bending constitutes a safe lower bound for the case of combined torsion and bending. The concrete compression diagonal struts carry the diagonal forces necessary for truss equilibrium. As shown in Sec. 2.3 of Report 248-3, the stress in the diagonal strut can be found from geometric considerations, and is given by the relation: fd = q/[b w sina' c o s ~ (2.51) where "q" is the shear flow due to shear or shear and torsion. The term q/b w becomes the average shear stress v ~ In Sec. 2.3 of Report 248-3, it was demonstrated that the compression stress fd in the diagonal strut does not vary significantly within the lirnits proposed for the inclination of the diagonal strut. 74 As a result, the average diagonal compression stress fd could be controlled by limiting the nominal shear stress independently of the inclination of the compression diagonals. In Chapter 3 of Report 248-3, a complete evaluation of the strength of the diagonal compression strut as a function of the maximum appl ied shear stress was cond ucted. The test data used in this evaluation belonged to reinforced and prestressed concrete members with web reinforcement subjected to shear and/or torsion fail ing in a web crushing mode. As a result of this evaluation it was suggested that failures due to crushing of the web concrete could be prevented by limiting the maximum nominal shear stress due to shear and/or torsion to a value equal or less than 15../'76. Therefore, in order to avoid premature failures due to web crushing, the stress fd in the diagonal compression strut should always be kept equal to or less than 3 0 ~ 2.4.6 Adequate Detailing of the Steel Reinforcement. The space truss model design approach is based on the assumption that all tensile forces have to be carried through yielding of the web and flexural tension reinforcement. Thus, reinforced and prestressed concrete members not only have to be designed as underreinforced sections, but in addition premature failures due to improper detailing of the reinforcement must be avoided. In the design of reinforced and prestressed concrete members using the truss model it is clear to the designer that not only an 75 adequate amount of reinforcement is necessary but its distribution is also of great significance. 2.4.6.1 Torsion. In Report 248-3, the differences in the design of members to resist torsional moments produced either by equilibrium or by compatibility torsion was established. In the case of compatibility torsion the distribution of the reinforcement is more important than the amount. When designing members to resist compatibility torsion it is recommended that a minimum amount of reinforcement be provided for two reasons: 1. Minimum reinforcement (both transverse and longi tud ina!) helps at service load level to maintain adequate crack control. 2. Minimum amount of torsional reinforcement might raise the ul timate load of the entire structure since after the onset of yield in the flexural reinforcement of the adjacent members, further redistribution of forces can take place. In the ACI Code and AASHTO Standard Specifications (2,1) in the case of reinforced concrete members subjected to compatibility torsion the nominal torsion shear stress need not exceed 1.67 times the torsion shear stress required to produce first diagonal cracking. The proposed Canadian General Method (23) specifies that in the case of compatibility torsion the maximum nominal shear stress produced by torsion may be reduced to 0.67 times the pure torsional cracking strength of the section, provided that the member and adjoining members are adequately detailed to account for the redistribution of forces after cracking. The Swiss Code (10) specifies that torsional moments produced by compatibility torsion can be neglected. In addition, as in the CEB- Refined Method, torsional moments as a rule are only to be taken into 76 account in the design if they are necessary for equilibrium. However, in the case of compatibility torsion it is suggested that some reinforcement should be placed to control crack development. No level of nominal torsion shear stress is specified. In the proposed design recommendations it is suggested that in the case of members subjected to compatibility torsion, the members should meet the minimum detailing requirements for transverse and longitudinal reinforcement as given for the case of equilibrium torsion. Such a member should: a. Exhibit good service load behavior. b. Have enough additional strength to allow further redistribution of forces after the onset of yield in the flexural reinforcement of adjacent members. The case of equilibrium torsion is different. Here the amount of reinforcement becomes equally as important as its distribution. In designing a member subjected to torsion it is necessary to provide a uniform distribution of the longitudinal reinforcement around the perimeter of the cross section in order to provide adequate crack control. It is suggested that the longitudinal bars distributed around the perimeter should not be spaced farther apart than 8 in. center-to- center. At the same time, in order to satisfy ductility and strength requirements at ultimate, it is recommended that a considerable amount of the longitudinal reinforcement required for torsion be placed at the corners of the cross section and inside the closed stirrups. It is recommended based on studies by Collins and Mitchell (11) that under no
