Abstract
In the ACI Code, the empirical equations governing deep beam design are based on low-strength concrete specimens with $f_{ck}$ in the range of 14 to 40MPa. As high-strength concrete(HSC) is becoming more and more popular, it is timely to evaluate the application of HSC deep beam. For the shear strength prediction of HSC deep beams, this paper proposed Softened Strut-and-Tie Model(SSTM) considered HSC and bending moment effect. The shear strength predictions of the proposed model, the Appendix A Strut-and-Tie Model of ACI 318-02, and Eq. of ACI 318-99 11.8 are compared with the experimental test results of 4 deep beams and the collected experimental data of 74 HSC deep beams, compressive strength in the range of 49~78MPa. The proposed SSTM performance consistently reproduced 74 HSC deep beam measured shear strength with reasonable accuracy for a wide range of concrete strength, shear span-depth ratio, and ratio of horizontal and vertical reinforcement.
