 What is Deep Beam
Large depth/thickness ratio
And shear span depth ratio
less than
2.5 for concentrated load
and
less than 5.0 for distributed
load.
Where the shear span is the
clear span of the beam for
distributed load

 Behavior of Deep beam
Two-Dimensional Action.
Plane Section Do Not Remain Plane, in the deep
beam design.
The strain distribution is no longer linear.
The shear deformation cannot be neglected as in
the ordinary beam.
The stress distribution is not linear even in the
elastic stage.

 Behavior of Deep beam
The distribution of tensile stress at bottom
fiber is constant over the span.
Tensile stress in the bottom fiber at support
and at mid span is almost the same.
The tension reinforcement must be extended
to the end of support.

 Design Criteria for flexure in deep
Beams
Simply Supported beams:
The ACI code does not specify a simplified
g pprocedure
design
ACI procedure for flexural analysis and
design of deep beams follows rigorous non
linear approach
The simplified provisions presented in this
section are based on the recommendations of
the Euro
Euro-International
International Concrete Committee
(CEB).

It was experimentally
observed that the moment

l= Effective span measured from c/c.

The tension reinforcement has to be placed in the

lower segment

g such that the
segment height is Y=0.25h-0.05l < 0.20h

 SHEAR DESIGN OF DEEP BEAM
The shear design of deep beam is similar as shear
design
g of ordinary y beam.
The difference is the concrete shear strength.
Limitation of ultimate shear force.
Horizontal and vertical stirrups distribution.

BASIC DESIGN EQUATION

Vn Vu
Vn = nominal shear strength
Vn = design shear strength
= strength
g reduction factor (0.85)
( )
Vu = ultimate shear force, factored shear force
 SHEAR DESIGN OF DEEP BEAM
As shear design of ordinary beam, the shear force is
resisted by the concrete component and by the
shear reinforcement component, as follows :
Vn = Vc + Vs
where :
Vn = Nominal shear strength
Vc = Concrete shear strength without shear
reinforcement
Vs = shear reinforcement ((stirrup)
p) shear strength
g
 CONCRETE SHEAR STRENGTH

The concrete Shear strength of deep beam is taken as

where :
Vc = concrete shear strength (N)
Mu = ultimate
lti t flflexure momentt (N
(Nmm))
Vu = ultimate shear force (N)
fc = concrete cylinder strength (MPa)
p
d = effective depth
bw = width of beam web
w = longitudinal reinforcement ratio

as :

 LIMITS OF SHEAR

The minimum shear reinforcement area is :

The critical section to determines the ultimate shear force

in the deep beam is :
 STEP BY STEP PROCEDURE
The followings are the step by step procedure used in the shear
design for deep beam, as follows :

Determine the critical section to calculate the ultimate shear force

Vu.
 STEP BY STEP PROCEDURE

Check the ultimate shear force, enlarge the section if

the condition is not achieved.
 STEP BY STEP PROCEDURE

Calculate the concrete shear strength Vc:

 STEP BY STEP PROCEDURE
If Vu < 0.5Vc then no shear reinforcements needed, but for
practical
ti l reason provide

i f t

If Vu > Vc then provide the shear reinforcements.

 STEP BY STEP PROCEDURE

Calculate the ultimate shear force carried by the stirrups Vs.

Choose the

 STEP BY STEP PROCEDURE

Check the spacing of shear reinforcement sv and sh.

If necessary check the chosen shear reinforcements for the basic

design equation for shear design.
 STEP BY STEP PROCEDURE

The design procedure above is repeats until the basic design

equation for shear design is achieved
