Abstract:
The effect of combined top and bottom loading simultaneously on reinforced concrete deep beams is investigated. Proposals are made for predicting shear strengths of such beams. Experimental results reported previously by other investigators are used for comparison and verification purposes with theoretical predictions. Good agreement between experiment and theory is observed; existing rules and recommendations are deemed too imposing.
