An Experimental Study on the Evaluation of Shear Strength in Reinforced Concrete Continuous Deep Beams

철근콘크리트 연속 깊은 보의 전단내력 평가에 대한 실험적 연구

The objective of this experimental study is to understand the shear behavior of reinforced concrete continuous deep beams. The main variables considered were concrete strength and shear span-to-depth ratio. Specimens of 4 two-span continuous deep beams were tested and compared with the strength of simple span beams. The results show that the influence of concrete strength on the shear strength of continuous deep beams is comparable to that on simple span deep beams. However, the effect of span-to-depth ratio is significantly greater than simple span deep beams.
