a) Indirect method<br />
• Tie force approach<br />
A weak point in the direct approach method is that the prescriptive tying force requirements<br />
neglect ductility issues and relies primarily <strong>on</strong> bending, cantilever acti<strong>on</strong> and compressive<br />
arching rather than tensile catenary acti<strong>on</strong> for enhanced structural robustness.
