Computer Aided Strut-and-Tie Model (CASTM) for the Analysis of RC Deep Beams
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Many studies and a lot of research work have been done on the analysis and structural behavior of reinforced concrete deep beams [1, 2 and 3]. In these studies different calculation methods were used. The Beam Method has been used for many years; the Strut-and-Tie Method (STM) is recently included in the Eurocode [4] and has been included in the Canadian Standard for the Design of Concrete Structures[5] since 1984 and the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Specifications [6] since 1994, it is a new concept for many structural engineers in the U.S. but specific code requirements were not incorporated into the ACI 318 Building Code [7] until the 2002 edition, as Appendix A.. This paper aims mainly at finding the most economical way to analyze and design reinforced concrete deep beams. New computer program (CASTM), based on STM, aims to be user friendly, presenting a complete packet not only as an analyzing tool but also as a design program.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
