Abstract
The strut-tie model developed in recent years is applied here to study the problem of mushroom slabs. This method gives a clear physical picture of the effect of the increase in slab depth at column on the slab design, as compared to the case of conventional uniform depth. In fact, drop panel and capital constitute a perfect section, consistent with the distribution of negative moment in the column strip. A maximum depth is available at the point of maximum moment and as the depth decreases from the column, negative moment also decreases. This paper describes the application of the strut-tie model to the actual analysis and design of the subject problem with an illustrative example.
