In this study, two innovative proposals of hybrid precast deep beams are suggested making
of the arching action, tied arch and Strut-and-Tie (STM) models. The first one which is called …

The application of precast industry in production various structural elements increased
dramatically. Deep beams is an important kind of such elements that is used to support …

Six deep beams without transversal reinforcement made of sand-lightweight concrete and
six deep beams made of sand-lightweight concrete with 1.0% of steel fibers were tested and …

Concrete is a brittle material and weak in tension. Traditionally, web reinforcement in the
form of vertical stirrups is used in reinforced concrete (RC) beams to take care of principal …

Usage of service ducts in high rise buildings proves to be most reliable and these require an
opening through the beams to manage the floor height of a structure. In the present study, a …

In Finite Element analysis the size of mesh plays a critical role. It is closely said that accuracy
and number of mesh required for the meshing of the element. This paper presents the effect …

This paper presents a three-dimensional finite element model for reinforced concrete beams
to study their flexural behavior under linear displacement with different mesh sizes. The …
