Enhancement of shear strength of deep beams using hybrid fibres and suggesting an alternative for strut and tie model

Effect of the arching action on the behavior of the RC precast concrete deep beams: comparison between several hybrid models

“…Hence, the classical elastic beam theory of bending is not applicable to deep beams. A deep beam exhibits a very complicated stress state that can be described by the strut and tie action since the mechanical behavior of deep beam is governed by shear [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. A comparison between deep beams and ordinary beams is listed in Table (A-1).…”
