The model was validated against 90 experimental data collected from the literature. The predicted shear strength in the analysis showed a very satisfactory correlation with the test results, with the average experimental/analytical failure load ratio of 1.09 and the coefficient of variation (C.O.V) of 14.1. Furthermore, a comparison between the accuracy of the proposed model and the current design guidelines was also demonstrated in this study. It was observed that the optimised truss model led to be more viable than the standard 45-deg truss model in the design guidelines. A large dispersion of the results was found in ACI 440 with the C.O.V as far as 31.4; whilst the TR 55 and fib 14 showed no significant difference with the C.O.V of 29.3 and 21.5, respectively. © (2014) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland. date: 2014 publisher: Trans Tech Publications Ltd official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84903551153&doi=10.4028%2fwww.scientific.net%2fAMM.567.469&partnerID=40&md5=523415032a2da0d79aab540589b3cd7a id_number: 10.4028/www.scientific.net/AMM.567.469 full_text_status: none publication: Applied Mechanics and Materials volume: 567 pagerange: 469-475 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9783038351238 issn: 16609336 citation: Yin, H. and Wee, T.
