The longevity oI a large number oI reinIorced concrete bridge piers has been compromised as a
result oI Alkali-Silica Reaction (ASR) and Delayed Ettringite Formation (DEF). These
structures need to be assessed Ior strength and perIormance to ensure their general load capacity
and saIety. It is shown that present code-based methods oI analysis, whether they be the
sectional method or strut-and-tie methods, are unable to discriminate between these concrete
elements without and with the eIIects oI ASR/DEF. A Compatibilitv Strut-and-Tie Modeling (C
-STM) technique is thereIore used. Prestress Iorces are applied at certain truss nodes to mimic
the swelling eIIects oI ASR/DEF damage to the concrete. The computational C-STM approach
is veriIied against several large-scale experimental tests. It is observed that the C-STM predicts
the overall Iorce-deIormation behavior oI the structure without and with ASR/DEF eIIects with
good accuracy.
