Abstract:
Using the strut-and-tie approach, this paper examines three aspects of deep beam design, which as yet has not been conclusively dealt with by earlier researchers. Previous test results have been used to justify the use of the previously mentioned principle in predicting the shear strengths of deep beams that are continuously punctured by web openings or have depth-span ratios that exceed 1, each constraint being considered independently of the rest.
