| Abstract | ||
| This paper is focused on the effect of shear reinforcement on the structural behavior of continuous reinforced concrete deep beams to employ the results on the piles caps works. Experimental study using self-compacting concrete with constant compressive strength nominally equals 60 MPa were frequently used with three groups of shear span-to-depth ratios 0.95, 1.08 and 1.25 to produce twelve continuous beams. Each group of shear span-to-depth ratios has one unreinforced beam against shear stresses and three shear reinforced beams; the first is consist of horizontal stirrups only, the second has vertical stirrups only while the third from combined with horizontal and vertical stirrups to act together against shear stresses. The results revealed that the configuration of the combined shear reinforcement (horizontal and vertical) is an effective factor on the behavior of the deep beam and when it is increased in one category the ultimate strength and the serviceability of specimen can be improved. The percentage of the obtained improvement for a specimen can be increased by decreasing its shear span-to-depth ratio. | ||
