This paper presents a nonlinear finite element analysis procedure for the prediction of shear strength of reinforced concrete deep beams. A computer program, named RCAHESTC(Reinforced Concrete Analysis in Higher Evaluation System Technology), for the analysis of reinforced concrete structures was used. Material nonlinearity is taken into account by comprising tensile. compressive and shear models of cracked concrete and a model of reinforcing steel. The smeared crack approach is incorporated. The proposed numerical method for the prediction of shear strength of reinforced concrete deep beams is verified by comparison with the reliable experimental results.

The objective of this experimental study is to understand the effects of horizontal and vertical shear reinforcement on the shear strength of concrete deep beams. Main variables were the horizontal shear reinforcement ratio $(P_{sh})$, vertical shear reinforcement ratio$(P_{sv})$ and shear span-to-overall depth ratio(a/h). Test results revealed that the effectiveness of shear resistance of shear reinforcement was greatly related to the a/h. For the beams with $a/h\geq1.0$, the vertical shear reinforcement was more effective than horizontal shear reinforcement.

The shear behavior and strength of simply supported reinforced concrete deep beams with web opening subject to concentrated loads have been investigated experimentally on the effects of structural parameters such as location of web opening and reinforcements. A total of 12 specimens were tested at the laboratory under two-point top loading. The shear span-to-depth ratio was taken constantly 0.8, and various types of reinforcements based on truss models were adopted. In the tests, the effects of location, reinforcements of web openings on the shear behavior, and crack initiation and propagation have been carefully checked and analyzed. The test results have been compared with the formulas proposed currently being used and analyzed by nonlinear finite element method. Shear strengths obtained from the tests showed good matches with Kong and Ray's equation, and also with the results calculated by nonlinear finite element method.

This study is aimed to evaluate the shear strength of reinforced concrete deep beams subject to concentrated loads, using a simplified strut-tie model. For the shear strength prediction of deep beams, it is prerequisite to evaluate the effective width of strut and to verify the efficiency factors proposed by MacGregor et al.. The results analyzed by truss models have been compared with those calculated by domestic code for the existing data of 90 deep beam specimens. The shear strength of deep beams were reviewed with respect to concrete strength, the shear span-depth ratio, and the ratio of web reinforcements. The results showed that the shear strength of the proposed model gave a better agreement than the domestic code approach.

The shear behavior of reinforced concrete deep beams with web opennings has been scrutinized experimentally to verify the influences of the structural parameters such as size, shape, location and reinfrocements of web openings, and shear span ratio. A total of 22 specimens has been tested under one or two point loading conditions at the laboratory. In the tests most specimens have shown shear failures with inclined cracks from the loacing points to the supports through openings. The ultimate strengths of the specimens measured from the tests have shown wide differences depending on the locations of the openings which deter the formation of the compression struts between the loading points and the supports. The effects of the reinforcements and the geomtry of the openings on the shear strengths and the crack developments have been carefully checked and analyzed.

As the residential spaces become high-rised and high-density, Multi-story buildings were constructed with transfer girders, Deep beams, wall foundations, floor diaphragms an shear walls which may have column offsets. Especially, In the analysis and design of Multi-story buildings, the lateral loads must be taken into account. But, there have been no appropriate theory and national design code for predicting ultimate shear strength of reinforced concrete Deep beams with web opening. Only empirical and semi-empirical formulas for predicting their ultimate load bearing capacities due to the complexities of the structural non-linearity and material heterogeneity. So this study analyze tow-dimensional finite element model that represents exactly the behavior of real structures with SBETA which are general nonlinear finite element analysis program, and compare the results with that from the real reinforced Concrete Deep beams with web opening tests. From the comparison, and parametric study, The Study presents the elementary data of the earthquake resistance for the reinforced concrete Deep beams with web opening.

Reinforced concrete deep beams with conpressive strengths in the range of 500kg/$\textrm{cm}^3$~750kg/$\textrm{cm}^3$ were tested under two-point loding. All the beams were singly reinforced with main steel percent $\rho$=1.29% and with nominal percentage of vertical shear reinflrcements $\rho_v$=0.26%. According to shear-span to depth ratio a/d. The beams were tested for four horizontal shear reinforcement ratio $\rho_h$, ranging from$\rho_h$=0.0 to $\rho_h$=0.53. The results indicate that the horizontal shear reinforcements of beams have an effect on failure load and on ductile behavior of deep beams. The test results are compared with predictions based on the current ACI Building Code. The computated reports in the paper will have designers assured for design of high strength concrete deep beam. Though ACI Code is relatively conservative and tend to non-economical, ACI Code has the merit that is easy to use.

Recently, many design codes including ACI 318-02 recommend the use of a strut-tie model approach for design of structural concrete with D-region(s). However, there are several unclear problems and shortcomings in the codes' strut-tie model approach. A grid strut-tie model approach was proposed to resolve these problems. In this study, the ultimate strengths of 17 deep beams, the most familiar type of D-regions, were evaluated for the validity check of the grid strut-tie model approach. The analytical results obtained by the approach are compared with those by the strut-tie model approach presented by CEB-FIP, AASHTO LRFD, and ACI 318-02.

The objective of this experimental study was to understand the structural behavior of reinforced concrete continuous deep beams with welded deformed wire fabric(WWF) as shear reinforcement. The structural behavior of deep beams reinforced with WWF was compared with that of deep beams reinforced with orthogonal shear reinforcement which had standard anchorage corresponding to ACI 318-02. Test results showed that the load transferring capacity and the control of splitting cracks in the strut of WWF were almost as effective as those of orthogonal shear reinforcement with standard anchorage.
