Abstract: In this present study a comprehensive literature has been reviewed on shear strength of deep beams. The shear behavior of deep beams must be understood by varying various parameters such as web reinforcement, shear span to depth ratio, size of the beam, depth of the beam, vertical reinforcement, side face reinforcement, percentage of reinforcement, Crack width criteria, Shear span deflection. Comparison of various international codes for the design of reinforced concrete deep beam is reviewed. This study provides preliminary support for proposing a new shear strengthening technique during the design of the member.
Keywords: a/d Ratio, Deep Beam, Web Reinforcement, Shear Strength, Size Effect.
Scope of the Article: Civil and Environmental Engineering
