tributary strips Explanation: Used to analyse the effects of loads on structures "The model output included nodal forces at several locations in each pier; these were translated into axial, moment, and shear demands on tributary strips of the piers. The axial force on each strip was used to calculate both moment and shear capacities. " https://www.ussdams.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Abstracts... The second problem in design is the distribution of the slab load to the supporting beams. An early recommendation was that each beam carry the load within the diagonals of the supported panels applied as a triangle with the vertex at mid-span as indicated on Fig. 16-9. The 1928 A.C.I. Code, in Art. 713/, recommended that supporting beams be designed for the reaction of the tributary strips of slab carrying the portion of the total load obtained from the (L/B — Yd relationship without permitting any live load reduction and assuming that this load is applied uniformly throughout the span length of the beam. https://archive.org/stream/in.ernet.dli.2015.3607/2015.3607....
