Abstract:
Describes an investigation of the behavior and ultimate shear strength of 26 single span simply supported reinforced concrete deep beams having different depth-span ratios. The beams were tested both under concentrated (at a single point and two points) and distributed loads. Based on the observed behavior and strength an equation is presented for predicting the ultimate shear strength of deep beams.
