While tests of deep fibre-reinforced concrete (FRC) beams have shown that steel fibres enhance the crack control and shear strength, the modelling of these effects in a simple and rational manner remains a challenging problem. Because FRC features enhanced tension behaviour, it is not well suited for the traditional strut-and-tie approach which neg...
Web openings are inevitably installed in deep beams in practice, while most of the research is focused on the shear behaviour of solid deep beams. The existence of web openings can reduce significantly the shear capacity of deep beams and therefore cause safety problems. In this study, the typical shear failure modes and load transfer mechanisms of...
