Abstract:
In this study, a first attempt is established to develop a rational yet simplified truss analogy approach to predict the full response of reinforced concrete deep beams. Bilinear load-deflection curve is characterized by two key points—namely, yielding and ultimate. Timoshenko’s first-order shear deformation theory is invoked to linearize the strain profile by including the shear strain contribution.
Based on the levels of strain in different truss members, a nonlinear analysis scheme is devised to compute the yielding and ultimate load and displacement. Comparisons with a wide range of shear span-depth ratios in tested beams are successfully made. Predictions of the response and failure modes are found to agree with experimental observations.
