In this study, ultimate strength of concrete deep beams with an opening is predicted by using Strut-and-Tie Model with a new effective compressive strength. First crack occurs around an opening by stress concentration due to geometric discontinuity. This results in decreasing ultimate strength of deep beams with an opening compared with general deep beams. With fundamental notion that ultimate strength of deep beam with an opening decreases as a result of reduction in effective compressive strength of a concrete strut, an equivalent effective compressive strength formula is proposed in order to reflect ultimate strength reduction due to an opening located in a concrete strut. An equivalent effective compressive strength formula which can reflect opening size and position is added to a testified algorithm of predicting ultimate strength of concrete deep beams. Therefore, ultimate strength of concrete deep beam with an opening is predicted by using a simple and rational STM algorithm including an equivalent effective compressive strength formula, not by finite element analysis or a former complex Strut-and-Tie Model

철근콘크리트 전단벽의 전단강도를 예측하기 위한 기존 연구자들의 스트럿-타이 모델(STM)들은 횡하중 및 상부의 축력에 대한 전단벽의 내부 힘의 흐름과 웨브의 전단철근에 의해 전달되는 전단력의 비율을 명확히 제시하고 있지 않다. 이를 개선하기 위해서, 이 연구에서는 콘크리트 파괴역학의 균열 띠 이론을 기반한 단순한 STM을 개발하였다. 응력이완 스트립을 동반하는 콘크리트 스트럿의 등가유효너비는 중립축 깊이와 콘크리트 유효압축강도 계수로 결정되었다. 균열 띠 확장영역의 전단 전달 메커니즘은 강성법에 의한 트러스 작용으로부터 산정되었다. 웨브 콘크리트 스트럿과 전단철근에 의한 전단 전달력은 응력이완 스트립과 균열 띠 이론을 기반한 에너지평형조건으로부터 유도되었다. 제시된 모델은 Siao와 Hwang et al.의 STM에 비해 150여개의 기존 실험결과의 경향을 잘 예측하였다. 또한, 제시된 STM은 각 변수에 따른 무차원된 전단강도의 경향을 잘 반영하고 있다.

Strut-and-tie model (STM) has been recommended by many codes and standards as a rational model for discontinuity regions in structural members. STM has been adopted in ACI building code for analysis of reinforced concrete (RC) deep beams since 2002. However, STM recommended by ACI 318-11 is only applicable for analysis of ordinary RC deep beams. This paper aims to develop the STM for CFRP strengthened RC deep beams through the strut effectiveness factor recommended by ACI 318-11. Two sets of RC deep beams were cast and tested in this research. Each set consisted of six simply-supported specimens loaded in four-point bending. The first set had no CFRP strengthening while the second was strengthened by means of CFRP sheets using two-side wet lay-up system. Each set consisted of six RC deep beams with shear span to effective depth ratio of 0.75, 1.00, 1.25, 1.50, 1.75, and 2.00.The value of strut effectiveness factor recommended by ACI 318-11 is modified using a proposed empirical relationship in this research. The empirical relationship is established based on shear span to effective depth ratio.

Methods for designing the post-tensioned anchorage zones at ultimate limit state has been specified in current design codes based on strut-and-tie models (STM). However, it is still not clear how to estimate the serviceability behavior of the anchorage zones. The serviceability is just indirectly taken into account by means of the reasonable reinforcement detailing. To address this issue, this paper is devoted to developing a modified strut-and-tie model (MSTM) to predict the behavior of concentric anchorage zones throughout the loading process. The principle of stationary complementary energy is introduced into STM at each load step to satisfy the compatibility condition and generate the unique MSTM. The structural behavior of anchorage zones can be achieved based on MSTM from loading to failure. Simplified formulas have been proposed to estimate the first cracking load, bearing capacity and maximum crack width with the consideration of the details of reinforcement bursting bars. The proposed model provides a definite method to control the bursting crack width in concentric anchorage zones. Four specimens with different bearing plate ratios have been designed and tested to validate the proposed method.

깊은 보는 지간-높이 비가 중요한 파라미터이다. 깊은 보를 설계할 때, ACI 318-02 이후 버전에서는 응력의 비선형 분포로 인해서 고전적인 설계 방법이 아니라 스트럿-타이 모델을 부록에 수록하여, 이 방법으로 설계하도록 하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 ACI 고전적인 설계방법과 스트럿-타이 모델을 비교, 분석하였다. 파라미터 연구로 지간-높이 비를 변화시켰으며, 총 68개의 샘플을 분석하였다. 결과로 고전적인 설계 방법과 스트럿-타이 모델은 빔의 지간-높이 비에 따라서 각각 장단점이 있으며, 본 논문에 깊은 보를 설계할 때의 팁이 제시되어 있다.

Based on the variation of strain along the cross section, any region in a structural member can be classified into two regions namely, Bernoulli's region (B-region) and Disturbed region (D-region). Since the variation of strain along the cross section for a B-region is linear, well-developed theories are available for their analysis and design. On the other hand, the design of D-region is carried out based on thumb rules and past experience due to the presence of nonlinear strain distribution. Strut-and-Tie method is a novel approach that can be used for the analysis and design of both B-region as well as D-region with equal importance. The strut efficiency factor (${\beta}_s$) is needed for the design and analysis of concrete members using Strut and Tie method. In this paper, equations for finding ${\beta}_s$ for bottle shaped struts in concrete deep beams (a D-region) with and without steel fibres are developed. The effects of transverse reinforcement on ${\beta}_s$ are also considered. Numerical studies using commercially available finite element software along with limited amount of experimental studies were used to find ${\beta}_s$.

Reinforced concrete (RC) deep beams are structural members that predominantly fail in shear. Therefore, determining the shear strength of these types of beams is very important. The strut-and-tie method is commonly used to design deep beams, and this method has been adopted in many building codes (ACI318-14, Eurocode 2-2004, CSA A23.3-2004). In this study, the efficiency of artificial neural networks (ANNs) in predicting the shear strength of RC deep beams is investigated as a different approach to the strut-and-tie method. An ANN model was developed using experimental data for 214 normal and high-strength concrete deep beams from an existing literature database. Seven different input parameters affecting the shear strength of the RC deep beams were selected to create the ANN structure. Each parameter was arranged as an input vector and a corresponding output vector that includes the shear strength of the RC deep beam. The ANN model was trained and tested using a multi-layered back-propagation method. The most convenient ANN algorithm was determined as trainGDX. Additionally, the results in the existing literature and the accuracy of the strut-and-tie model in ACI318-14 in predicting the shear strength of the RC deep beams were investigated using the same test data. The study shows that the ANN model provides acceptable predictions of the ultimate shear strength of RC deep beams (maximum $R^2{\approx}0.97$). Additionally, the ANN model is shown to provide more accurate predictions of the shear capacity than all the other computed methods in this study. The ACI318-14-STM method was very conservative, as expected. Moreover, the study shows that the proposed ANN model predicts the shear strengths of RC deep beams better than does the strut-and-tie model approaches.

Deep beam shall be designed either by taking into account nonlinear distribution of strain or by Appendix A of Strut-and-Tie Models (STM) according to ACI 318(M) from version of 2002. Although STM is accepted as tool in design Discontinuity region (D-region) which mostly exist in Deep beam, Corbels, Dapped ends etc., it has been modified by many researchers. In this study we design deep beam by STMs which use simple truss for load distribution and the model of complex truss for load distribution compare with the ACI traditional which is designed by flexure design method and shear provided by concrete($V_c$) as provided in special provisions section of 11.8 in ACI 318-99 [1]. This study aims to find the different and efficiency of deep beam design based on variation of parameter compiled from many samples selected from ACI traditional and two model of STMs, simple and complex load distribution.

본 연구는 아라미드 섬유 보강 폴리머(Aramid Fiber Reinforced Polymers, 이하 AFRP)rebar로 보강된 콘크리트 깊은보의 전단강도를 평가하기 위하여 전단경간비, 보강비, 유효깊이, 주근을 변수로 총 8본의 시험체에 대한 전단 실험을 수행하였다. ACI 318-08의 스트럿-타이 모델(이하 STM)을 이용한 전단강도와 아치작용을 고려한 제안식에 의한 전단강도를 비교-평가하였으며, 그 결과 AFRP rebar로 보강한 경우, Steel rebar로 보강한 경우보다 전단강도가 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 전단강도 산정에 있어 ACI 318-08 STM을 이용한 해석이 상대적으로 정확했으며, 실험결과를 토대로 스트럿의 크기효과를 고려한 유효압축강도 산정 모델을 제안하였다. 이를 본 실험에 적용시킨 결과 기존 기준 및 제안식을 이용한 전단강도 산정방법보다 합리적인 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

춤이 깊은 보 설계를 위한 현행 ACI 기준은 콘크리트 압축강도 40MPa이하의 실험결과를 바탕으로 한 반 경험적인 제안식으로서 40MPa이상 고강도콘크리트의 사용이 증가됨에 따라 현행 기준의 고강도 깊은 보에 대한 적용성 평가가 요구되고 있다. 고강도 깊은 보의 전단강도 예측을 위하여 본 연구에서는 콘크리트강도와 모멘트효과를 고려한 수정 연화 스트럿-타이 모델을 제시하였다. 제안모델 평가를 위하여 4개의 시험체를 제작하였으며, 콘크리트 압축강도 49~78MPa로 제작된 74개의 기존 실험 데이터를 적용하여 ACI 318-99 11.8기준, ACI 318-02 부록 A STM의 해석결과와 비교 평가하였다.
