Abstract
Conventional strut and tie model for certain structural elements are not well established. Alternative methods that evolved later are inappropriate for general practice. A new simplified grid strut and tie method is introduced in this paper. For checking the effectiveness and reliability of the proposed method, a model of slender shear wall with staggered openings was developed and compared with the experimental and numerical analysis available in the literature. Results were promising as it predicted the failure modes satisfactorily.
