This investigation presents an experimental and analytical study on the behavior of reinforced concrete deep beams before and after repair. The original beams were first loaded under two points load up to failure, then, repaired by epoxy resin and tested again. Three of the test beams contains shear reinforcement and the other two beams have no shear reinforcement. The main variable in these beams was the percentage of longitudinal steel reinforcement (0, 0.707, 1.061, and 1.414%). The main objective of this research is to investigate the possibility of restoring the full load carrying capacity of the reinforced concrete deep beam with and without shear reinforcement by using epoxy resin as the material of repair. All beams were tested with shear span-depth ratio 2.2. An analytical study was made to show the behavior of a sample of test beam at higher stages of loadings before and after repair. The test results showed that the epoxy resin used for repairing was very efficient in restoring full capacity of failed beams. Moreover, epoxy resin increased the strength capacity of the original beams by about 14% to 40%. On the other hand, the increase in the longitudinal reinforcement increased significantly the ultimate capacity of deep beams before and after repair.

The present study explains about the behavior of Deep beams in both experimental and analytical aspect. Considering the maximum moment from the analytical analysis, the Deep beams are designed according to the IS-456[2000] codal provisions. The failure of deep beams is mainly due to shear, which is considered as a catastrophic failure and many studies are being done on their behavior, some studies concluded that strut-tie- method(STM) is most relevant, but the IS-456(2000) code has no provisions regarding the STM. So, in the present study, the reinforcement area obtained in conventional design of deep beams as per IS provisions were arranged in the form of truss. Thus, comparing the behavior of conventional reinforced Deep beams with truss configured Deep beams, and comparing experimental results with analytical results of Deep Beams. The results concluded that the truss reinforced Deep beams shown good results compared to Conventional Deep Beams and IS-456 code need to be updated for the deep beam design in various approaches.

Abstract Background A series of nonlinear finite element (FE) analyses was performed to evaluate the different design approaches available in the literature for design of reinforced concrete deep beam with large opening. Three finite element models were developed and analyzed using the computer software ATENA. The three FE models of the deep beams were made for details based on three different design approaches: (Kong, F.K. and Sharp, G.R., Magazine of Concrete Res_30:89-95, 1978), (Mansur, M. A., Design of reinforced concrete beams with web openings, 2006), and Strut and Tie method (STM) as per ACI 318-14 (ACI318 Committee, Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete (ACI318-14), 2014). Results from the FE analyses were compared with the three approaches to evaluate the effect of different reinforcement details on the structural behavior of transfer deep beam with large opening. Results The service load deflection is the same for the three models. The stiffnesses of the designs of (Mansur, M. A., Design of reinforced concrete beams with web openings, 2006) and STM reduce at a load higher than the ultimate design load while the (Kong, F.K. and Sharp, G.R., Magazine of Concrete Res_30:89-95, 1978) reduces stiffness at a load close to the ultimate design load. The deep beam designed according to (Mansur, M. A., Design of reinforced concrete beams with web openings, 2006) model starts cracking at load higher than the beam designed according to (Kong, F.K. and Sharp, G.R., Magazine of Concrete Res_30:89-95, 1978) method. The deep beam detailed according to (Kong, F.K. and Sharp, G.R., Magazine of Concrete Res_30:89-95, 1978) and (Mansur, M. A., Design of reinforced concrete beams with web openings, 2006) failed due to extensive shear cracks. The specimen detailed according to STM restores its capacity after initial failure. The three models satisfy the deflection limit. Conclusion It is found that the three design approaches give sufficient ultimate load capacity. The amount of reinforcement given by both (Mansur, M. A., Design of reinforced concrete beams with web openings, 2006) and (Kong, F.K. and Sharp, G.R., Magazine of Concrete Res_30:89-95, 1978) is the same. The reinforcement used by the STM method is higher than the other two methods. Additional reinforcement is needed to limit the crack widths. (Mansur, M. A., Design of reinforced concrete beams with web openings, (2006)) method gives lesser steel reinforcement requirement and higher failure load compared to the other two methods.

Earthquake affected structures, mostly failure occur at beam column joints (BCJ). BCJs are categorized according to their geometrical grouping as Interior, Exterior, and Corner joints. Exterior beam column joint (i.e., terminating the beam on one of the column faces) was the most vulnerable one with respect to the plane of loading. The present study aims at ductility behaviour of exterior BCJ with conventional reinforcement using the code IS 456-2000 and with special confining reinforcement using the Code IS 13920-2016. Four number of beam-column joint specimens are considered in which the first one is detailed as per IS 456-2000, the second one as per IS 13920-2016 and the other two with 50% and 30% reduction of shear reinforcement was provided while compared with the first specimen. It is mainly to satisfy the strong column-weak beam concept as the main parameter. The test was carried out on the loading frame with hinged conditions to the column both ends, and the load is applied at the tip of the beam. The experimental studies are proven with an analytical study carried out by finite element model by using ANSYS and disparate parameters are assessed both experimentally and analytically.

Based on strut-and-tie model (STM) in deep beams, steel truss reinforced concrete (STRC) deep beam was developed. Experimental investigations of mechanical performances of STRC deep beams were carried out, and results show that STRC deep beam is of high ultimate bearing capacity, large rigidity and good ductility; Strut-and-tie force transference model is formed in STRC deep beams, and loads can be transferred in the shortest and direct way. Then Steel reinforced concrete (SRC) strut-and-tie model (SSTM) for determining the shear strength of STRC deep beams is proposed. The contribution of SRC diagonal strut, longitudinal reinforcements, stirrups and web reinforcements to the shear strength of STRC deep beams are determined with consideration of softened effects of concrete, and for safe consideration, superposition theory is employed for SRC struts. Computer programs are developed to calculate the shear strength of STRC deep beams and verified by experimental results.

This paper presents the numerical investigation of nine Glass Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) concrete deep beams through the use of numerically-efficient 20-noded hexahedral elements. Cracking is taken into account by means of the smeared crack approach and the bars are simulated as embedded rod elements. The developed numerical models are validated against published experimental results. The validation beams spanned a practical range of varying design parameters; namely, shear span-to-depth ratio, concrete specified compressive strength and flexural reinforcement ratio. The motivation for this research is to accurately yet efficiently capture the mechanical behavior of the GFRP-reinforced concrete deep beams. The presented numerical investigation demonstrated close correlations of the force–deformation relationships that are numerically predicted and their experimental counterparts. Moreover, the numerically predicted modes of failure are also found to be conformal to those observed experimentally. The proposed modeling approach that overcame previous computational limitations has further demonstrated its capability to accurately model larger and deeper beams in a computationally efficient manner. The validated modeling technique can then be efficiently used to perform extensive parametric investigations related to behavior of this type of structural members. The modeling method presented in this work paves the way for further parametric investigations of the mechanical behavior of GFRP-reinforced deep beams without shear reinforcement that will serve as the base for proposing new design guidelines. As a deeper understanding of the behavior and the effect of the design parameters is attained, more economical and safer designs will emerge.

This study adopted the investigation of the effect of a material that can be used as an alternative to steel reinforcement of shear in reinforced concrete beams, as the most susceptible to corrosion to which reduces the time service of the concrete structures and increase the maintenance costs is the steel reinforcement of shear for the closeness of surface of concrete. Therefor non-corroding material is needful for concrete structures and PVC fiber reinforcement is chosen. Experimentally nine reinforced concrete beams have been tested to determine the effect of PVC fiber reinforcement on the concrete beam resistance load, the load of cracks, deflection achieved and distribution with dimension of cracks. Three volume fraction ratios were taken for PVC fiber reinforcement (0, 0.25 and 0.5), which were identical to the shear reinforcement used in this research (0,0.29 and 0.54). All the concrete beams were tested with in on one program by applied a center load from the top in the middle to the failure load and the results were impressive. The specimens containing the PVC fiber reinforcement percentages achieved a remarkable increase in the crack and ultimate load of the concrete beams before and after cracks with direct effect in changing the failure type. While the deflection achieved due to the increase in PVC fiber percentage is more than the allowable deflection in the ACI Code equations of the reinforced concrete beams and more of these if the use of PVC fiber and steel reinforcement of shear together. A smaller measurement of the maximum cracks width was achieved by using advanced percentages of PVC fiber and shear reinforcement (0.5 and 0.54) respectively.
