    Reinforced concrete (RC) deep beams are commonly used in structural design to transfer vertical loads when there is a vertical discontinuity in the load path. Much experimental research has been conducted on simply supported deep beams, but little research has been carried out using monotonic loads. In our study, an experimental investigation was conducted to study fixed-ended reinforced concrete deep beams under cyclic and monotonic loads. Five specimens were experimentally tested. The specimens had similar geometry but different reinforcement details. Four specimens were tested under cyclic loads and one specimen under a monotonic load to observe the deflection of the mid-span where the load was applied, as well as the crack patterns, failure modes, and shear strengths. The results show that web reinforcements are more effective than longitudinal bars at increasing shear capacity in fixed-ended RC deep beams.
  • Shear Strengthening of RC Deep Beams with Symmetrically or Asymmetrically Positioned Square Openings Using CFRP Composites and Steel Protective Frames

    In most cases, openings are made in the Web of deep beams for installations to pass through. These members require to be strengthened since the openings reduce load-bearing capacity. This study utilizes carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites and steel protective frames (SPF) as strengthening configurations in reinforced concrete (RC) deep beams to improve the strength lost due to the square openings. To this end, eleven specimens with 10 × 50 × 120 cm in size were subjected to the three-point monotonic loading. In each beam, one or two square openings of 18 cm in each side are positioned either symmetrically or asymmetrically along the beam before it is strengthened with CFRP composites or SPFs. The strengthening composites were installed using externally bonded reinforcement (EBR) or externally bonded reinforcement on grooves (EBROG) techniques in two wrapped or inclined configurations. The obtained results indicate that specimens retrofitted by the SPF exhibited a superior performance as their loading capacity and energy absorption were enhanced by 115% and 337% in comparison with the reference beam, respectively, while these values for the specimens retrofitted by the EBROG technique were 58% and 182%, respectively, and 42% and 105% for those strengthened with the EBR technique.

    یکی از پارامترهای مهم در تعیین ظرفیت برشی تیرها، ارتفاع تیر می‌باشد. در این تحقیق به منظور بررسی اثر ارتفاع در مقاومت برشی تیرهای عمیق با بتن سبک و مقایسه با بتن معمولی دو سری تیر که شامل 8 تیر عمیق با نسبت دهانه برشی به ارتفاع 5/0 بود ساخته شد. سری اول شامل 4 تیر به ارتفاع 30، 45، 60 و 90 سانتی‌متر بود که در ساخت آنها از بتن سبک استفاده شد نمونه‌های سری دوم نیز شبیه سری اول بود با این تفاوت که در ساخت آنها از بتن معمولی استفاده شد. تیرهای به‌صورت دو نقطه‌ای و متمرکز از بالا تحت بار قرار گرفتند. نتایج نشان می‌دهد که مد گسیختگی مستقل از ارتفاع و نوع بتن می‌باشد. الگوی گسترش ترک‌ها بیشتر تحت تأثیر ارتفاع است و تقریبا مستقل از نوع بتن می‌باشد. مقاومت برشی نرمالیزه شده در هر دو گروه از تیرها با افزایش ارتفاع کاهش می‌یابد. مقایسه نتایج حاصل از آزمایش با روش‌های خرپایی موجود در آیین‌نامه‌ها نشان می‌دهد که تمام روش‌ها در تیرهای با ارتفاع کم محافظه‌کارانه بوده و با افزایش ارتفاع از حاشیه ایمنی کاسته می‌شود. نتایج آیین‌نامه CSA در مورد تیرها با ارتفاع cm90 غیر محافظه‌کارانه است که این امر نیاز به تحقیق بیشتری دارد.

    A new simple strut-and-tie model was presented in this paper to study the behaviour of reinforced concrete deep beams. This model was obtained based on bottle-shaped struts that can predict flexural, bearing and shear modes of the failure. Also, the effect of web reinforcements was considered. The proposed model was verified by laboratory test results that obtained from five deep beams with a shear span-to-depth ratio of two and some other experimental results existing in the literature. Comparison of the results of the proposed model with relations from ACI 318 and AASHTO-LRFD codes and some other relations showed that the proposed model is efficiently capable of accurately predicting the ultimate load of simply supported deep beams. Also, comparison of experimental results demonstrated that the flexural capacity of deep beams obtained from the strut-and-tie model is conservative.
