Resumen
Abstrae!
Colombian Standards for Seism -Resistant Design and Building, NSR-98, adopt the model
of thin wall / plastic spatial truss tube for lorsion designo
This /lew method is easier lo llndersland and lo apply than other more complex methods.
Some theories in which t1lis method is based l/pon and the procedllres for its application are
provided in llLis paper.
Tlzc metllOd considers that solid or hollow sections of reinforced concrete elements behave
as a tl/be, and after cracking tube is idealizcd like a space tmss made l/p 01 blind abutments,
longitlldinal beams in comers and concrete compressiol1 diagonals centercd in abl/tments.
Key words: Torsion, blind abutments, spatial truss, model of tube, cracking, wall,
momentum, membrane, beam.
