THE FLEXURAL AND SHEAR DESIGN OF DEEP BEAM

10.1 INTRODUCTION
Deep beam is a beam having large depth/thickness ratio and shear span depth ratio less than 2.5 for concentrated load and less than 5.0 for distributed load. Because the geometry of deep beams, they behavior is different with slender beam or intermediate beam.

The structural element that might be classified as deep beam are : Transfer Girder, is a girder that carry all the vertical load without any vertical element below the girder. Pile Cap, is a structural element that connect the vertical element with the deep foundation such as bored pile. Vertical Wall, wall slab under vertical load can be designed as deep beam.

10.2 BEHAVIOR OF DEEP BEAM


The followings are the major different of deep beam element compared wth ordinary beam based on the design assumption, as follows : Two-Dimensional Action, because of the dimension of deep beam they behave as twodimensional action rather than one-dimensional action. Plane Section Do Not Remain Plane, the assumption of plane section remain plane cannot be used in the deep beam design. The strain distribution is not longer linear. Shear Deformation, the shear deformation cannot be neglected as in the ordinary beam. The stress distribution is not linear even in the elastic stage. At the ultimate limit state the shape of concrete compressive stress block is not parabolic shape again.

The followings are the major behavior of deep beam element, as follows : Cracking of deep beam will occur at
1 f' 3 c

or

2 f 'c

The distribution of tensile stress at bottom fiber is constant over the span. In other word the value of tensile stress at bottom fiber at support and at mid span is only little different, for this reason in deep beam the tension reinforcement must be extend to the end of support although that region is small bending moment region (in ordinary beam we can cut off the tension reinforcement and not all of the tension reinforcement in mid span is extended to the end of support, practically only two for anchor the stirrups. The maximum tensile stress at the bottom fiber is far exceed the magnitude of compressive stress.

10.4 SHEAR DESIGN OF DEEP BEAM


10.4.1 GENERAL

The shear design of deep beam is similar as shear design of ordinary beam, the difference is only at the concrete shear strength, limitation of ultimate shear force and horizontal and vertical
stirrups distribution.

10.4.2

BASIC DESIGN EQUATION

According to ACI code the design of deep beam due to shear force must follows the following condition :
Vn Vu

[10.2]

where : Vn
Vn

= nominal shear strength = design shear strength = strength reduction factor (0.85) = ultimate shear force, factored shear force

Vu

10 - 5

http://syaifulsipil96.blogspot.com/

syaiful_ashari@yahoo.com

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 Vc Vs
10.4.3

[10.3]

= nominal shear strength = concrete shear strength without shear reinforcement = shear reinforcement (stirrup) shear strength

CONCRETE SHEAR STRENGTH

The concrete shear strength of deep beam is taken as :


M 1 V d Vc = 3.5 2.5 u f 'c + 120 w u b w d Vud 7 Mu M 1.0 3.5 2.5 u 2.50 Vud

[10.4]

where : Vc Mu Vu fc d bw
w

= concrete shear strength = ultimate flexure moment = ultimate shear force = concrete cylinder strength = effective depth = width of beam web = longitudinal reinforcement ratio

(N) (Nmm) (N) (MPa)

Or the concrete shear strength can be determined as :

Vc =

1 f 'c b w d 6

[10.5]

The maximum limit of concrete shear strength is :

Vc max =

1 f 'c b w d 2

[10.6]

The section must be enlarged if the ultimate shear force is not follows the condition below :

STIRRUP SHEAR STRENGTH

The shear reinforcements must be provided in the deep beams follows the condition below : Vu Vc The strength of horizontal and vertical shear reinforcements is :

[10.9]

L L 1+ n 11 n d A vh A v d f d Vs = + y sv 12 sh 12

[10.10]

where : Vs Av sv Ln d Avh sv fy
10.4.5

= horizontal and vertical stirrups shear strength = area of vertical stirrups = spacing of vertical stirrups = clear distance of beam = effective depth = area of horizontal stirrups = spacing of horizontal stirrups = yield strength of stirrups

(N)

LIMITS OF SHEAR REINFORCEMENT

The minimum shear reinforcement area is : A v min = 0.0015(bs v ) A vh min = 0.0025(bsh )

[10.11]

where : Av-min Avh-min b sv sh = minimum vertical stirrups = minimum horizontal stirrups = width of beam = spacing of vertical stirrups = spacing of horizontal stirrups

The maximum spacing of shear reinforcement is :

The critical section to determines the ultimate shear force in the deep beam is :

x = 0.15(Ln )

x = 0.50(a )

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.
UNIFORM LOAD CONCENTRATED LOAD

x = 0.15(Ln )

x = 0.50(a )

If Vu < 0.5Vc then no shear reinforcements needed, but for practical reason provide minimum shear reinforcement. A vh min = 0.0025(bsh ) A v min = 0.0015(bsv )

If Vu > Vc then provide the shear reinforcements.
