A deep beam is a beam with a small ratio of its shear span to its effective depth. Deep beams at failure under shear mechanism behave as brittle in contrast to the normal beams which become ductile under the flexural mechanism. The shear failure of deeps beams can be prevented by providing a sufficient amount of web shear reinforcements. Providing horizontal web reinforcement to the RC deep beams is a way to increase their capacity to shear. Testing of the studied deep beams was performed by Finite Element Method (FEM) modeling with the aid of ANSYS software. To obtain valid parameters for modeling RC deep beams in FEM modeling, calibrating test have to be done through verification and validation processes. The study results of all studied RC deep beams show that by closing up the spacing between the horizontal web reinforcement results in increment in the ultimate load, while the ultimate deflection and the curvature ductility were found to be decreasing. For RC deep beams, the placing configuration of horizontal web reinforcement at 0.5h-0.7h was found to be efficient for gaining higher values of ultimate deflection and curvature ductility compared to the placing configuration at 0.3h-0.5h with similar values of ultimate load. It was also found that all the specimens’ crack patterns at the first crack state were caused by flexural-tension while at the ultimate state, they were caused by the shear mechanism.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the thermal effects on the free vibration of functionally graded (FG) porous deep beams. Mechanical properties of the FG deep beam are temperature-dependent and vary across the height direction with different porosity models. The governing equations problem is obtained by using the Hamilton’s principle. In the solution of the problem, plane piecewise solid continua model and finite element method are used. The effects of porosity parameters, material distribution, porosity models and temperature rising on the vibration characteristics are presented and discussed with porosity effects for FG deep beams.

ABSTRAKBalok tinggi beton bertulang merupakan salah satu struktur khusus yang dapat memikul beban cukup besar dan umumnya digunakan sebagai transfer girder, struktur lepas pantai, struktur dinding, dan pondasi. Kehadiran bukaan pada balok tinggi dapat memfasilitasi jalur saluran AC, saluran pipa, jaringan kabel dan lain-lain. Dengan adanya bukaan pada balok tinggi dapat memberikan beberapa efek samping yaitu terjadinya diskontinuitas geometri, tegangan terdistribusi non-linier pada balok tinggi, berkurangnya kekuatan dari balok, dan timbulnya konsentrasi tegangan di sekitar bukaan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis efek dari kehadiran bukaan pada balok tinggi di atas dua perletakan (sendi-rol) dan dibebani beban terpusat di tengah bentang balok lalu memvariasikan bentuk bukaan (persegi, persegi panjang, dan lingkaran) dan lokasi bukaan. Tegangan lentur pada balok tinggi dan konsentrasi tegangan yang terjadi di sekitar bukaan merupakan hal yang akan dibahas dalam penelitian. Analisis akan dibantu dengan Midas FEA yang merupakan program berbasis elemen hingga dan  pemodelan dilakukan dengan elemen solid tiga dimensi. Hasil dari analisis ini menunjukkan bahwa kehadiran bukaan pada balok tinggi menyebabkan kenaikan tegangan secara signifikan. Lokasi dari bukaan yang mendekati daerah tengah bentang balok juga sangat mempengaruhi besarnya tegangan yang terjadi.ABSTRACTReinforced concrete deep beam is one of the special structures that can carry quite a big load and generally used as a transfer girder, offshore structure, wall structure, and foundation. The appearance of openings in deep beams can facilitate AC pipelines, plumbing pipes, cable networks, etc. The existence of openings in deep beams can provide a few side effects such as geometric discontinuity, non-linear stress distributions over the deep beams, reduced strength of the deep beams, and stresses concentration will emerged around the openings. The purpose of this research is to analyze the effects from the existence of openings in deep beams on two supports (hinge and roller) and loaded by concentrated load in mid-span then variate the shape of openings (square, rectangle, and circle) and location of the openings. Flexural stresses in deep beams and the stress concentrations that occur around the openings are discussed in this research. The analysis will be assisted by Midas FEA which is a finite element based program and modelling will be executed in three dimensional solid elements. The result of this analysis showed that the existence of the openings in deep beams can cause stresses to increase significantly high. The location of the openings close to the mid-span of the deep beams also affect the amount of the stresses that occurs.

This paper shows the behavior of reinforced self-compacting concrete deep beams with circular openings strengthened in shear with various arrangements of externally bonded Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP). Six simply supported deep beams were constructed and tested under two points load up to the failure for this purpose. All tested beams had same geometry, compressive strength, shear span to depth ratio, main flexural and web reinforcement. The variables considered in this study include the influence of fiber orientation, utilizing longitudinal CFRP strips with vertical strips and area of CFRP. The test results indicated that the presence of the circular openings in center of load path reduce stiffness and ultimate strength by about 50% when compared with solid one, also it was found that the externally bonded CFRP can significantly increase the ultimate load and enhance the stiffness of deep beam with openings.

The behaviour of reinforced concrete deep beams is complex due to small shear span-to-depth ratios, which deviates its behaviour from the classical Bernoullis beam behaviour. Such behaviour is predominant in cases where members are supported over small spans carrying heavy concentrated or distributed loads. Such is the case in the structural members like pile cap, transfer girder, panel beam, strap beam in foundation, walls of rectangular water tank, shear wall etc. This paper reports on the influence of Poly propylene fibers combined with and without steel fibers on the stiffness, spall resistance and shear strength of RC deep beams. A total of 21 beams were tested to failure under two-point loading, which were compared with the ACI code provisions. The shear span-to-depth ratios adopted were 0.7 to 0.9 incorporating three steel fiber volume fractions of 0%, 1%, 1.25% along with two different fibers of Steel and Poly propylene with volume fractions of (1.0 + 0.0) %, and (1.0 + 1.0) %. The beams with shear span-to-depth ratios 0.7, 0.8 and 0.9 showed an increase of 21.9%, 23.43% and 23.9% in the ultimate load carrying capacity with combined steel and poly propylene fibers as replacement of web reinforcement with reference to that of the beam without web reinforcement. With the above combinations, the shear strength and stiffness of the beams have been found to be improved. When the horizontal shear reinforcement was increased, the shear strength was found to increase.

Introduction:This study presents the experimental and analytical investigation of the behavior of high strength hybrid reinforced concrete deep beams under monotonic and repeated two-point load. The idea of hybrid in this work is different. Two types of concrete were used in beam but not in cross-section. The first type was the Fibrous High Strength Concrete (FHSC) at shear spans for enhancing shear capacity against cracking due to diagonal strut failure (by adding Steel Fiber (SF) in that regions), while the second type was the Conventional High Strength Concrete (CHSC) at the mid-portion between the two strengthened shear spans.Methods:The experimental work included the casting and testing of ten deep beams. Five among the beams were tested under monotonic loading (control beams) and other beams were tested under repeated loading at the level of 75% of ultimate load of control beams. The effect of some selected parameters as the type of load, the hybrid and non-hybrid beams, the compressive strength of concrete (fʹc) (normal and high) and the amount of web reinforcement (ρw) were studied in terms of crack patterns, ultimate load and load versus midspan deflection.Results and Conclusion:From the experimental test results, when beam cast with fibrous with SF of 1% concrete along entire length, the ultimate load of 10.96% increased as compared with hybrid beam. And it was observed to increase as much as 32.78% as compared with beam cast from conventional high strength concrete under monotonic loading. Under repeated loading of 75% control ultimate load, the ultimate load for beam cast with fibrous concrete along entire length increased as much as 15.32% as compared with hybrid beam. And it was seen to increase 36.17% as compared with the beam cast from conventional high strength concrete. The percentage increase in ultimate load of hybrid (SF ratio 1%) deep beam cast with high strength concrete became 97.3% as compared with the identical beam cast with normal strength concrete under monotonic loading and (98.21%) under repeated loading (load 75% control beam load). The percentage increase as ultimate load for hybrid beam cast with SF ratio 1% was 9.62% as compared with hybrid beam with SF ratio 0%. As the web reinforcement increased from 0 to 0.004 and from 0 to 0.006, the percentage increased in the ultimate load as 28.07% and 57.89%, under monotonic loading as 26.14% and 59.09%, under repeated loading.Then, Strut and Tie model (STM) procedures were used to analyze the experimentally tested hybrid deep beams under monotonic loading of the present investigation. Comparison of experimental results was made with corresponding predicted values using the STM procedure presented of ACI 318R-14 Code and with other procedures

This paper describes a numerical study of some of the quasi-material parameters which are used to define the post-cracking response in smeared crack models for the nonlinear finite element analysis of reinforced concrete. The two major effects studied were interface shear transfer and tension stiffening. The investigation was carried out on a solid deep beam using a nonlinear plane stress formulation. Parabolic isoparametric elements were used with a standard nonlinear solution procedure.The effect of the quasi-material parameters was found to be significant in predicting the behaviour of the deep beam. A sudden drop in the stress at the cracking load was found to be important in the tension stiffening model. Different values can lead to different solutions for load–deflection curves, ultimate loads, and crack patterns. Also it was found that a large reduction in shear modulus to account for interface shear transfer can affect the nonlinear solution and cause numerical problems when used with a gradual release tension stiffening model with no discontinuity at the cracking load. Key words: deep beams, finite element, load deflection, post-cracking, shear transfer, tension stiffening, ultimate load.
