Abstract

This paper presents the analytical analysis and experimental investigation of six deep beams with enhanced shear reinforcement to study the shear behaviour and various strength parameters. Both experimental and analytical studies are done and validated in terms of shear and other parameters. Experimental investigation proved that deep beams could carry load up to 1000 kN for a web reinforcement percentage of 0.55% of total gross area. It is proved that shear failure is the primary failure in deep beams and most of them failed in shear. In addition to shear failure, diagonal tension and diagonal compression failures also occurred in deep beams
