A strut-and-tie model (STM) for unsymmetrically-loaded deep beams is proposed in this paper through simplifying the unsymmetrical problem into symmetrical and anti-symmetrical problems. This analytical solution starts with derivations of principal compressive stress fields based on the theory of ela...
