Abstract
A parametric study of twenty-five reinforced concrete ring deep beams using finite element analysis is presented in this study. This paper took into account the kind of loading (partial and complete), the diameter, depth, and width of the ring beam, as well as the NO. of supports. When compared to equivalent concentrated central loading, acting a central partial distributed loading of 25-100 percent of the length of span increased capacity of load by about 3-80 percent while decreasing max. deflection and moments of torsion by about 4-14 percent and 1-9 percent, respectively. Decreases in load capacity of about 10-33 percent were observed when beam diameter was increased by 20-80%, while deflection and moments of torsion increased by about 30-145 percent and 8-23 percent, respectively. When the depth of the beam was increased by 12-50 percent, the capacity of load and moments of torsion increased by about 15-61 percent, while deflection reduced by about 8-21 percent. When the circular beam width was increased by 40-160 percent, the capacity of load, deflection, and moments of torsion increased by about 142-690 percent, 26-62 percent, and 137-662 percent, respectively. Finally, when the NO. of supports increased by 25-150 percent, the capacity of load increased by about 70-380 percent, while the deflection and moments of torsion decreased by about 27-71 percent and 16-72 percent, respectively.
Highlights
In addition to their traditional utilized in curved structures, ring beams are commonly utilized in the construction of ring foundations, domes, and base tanks, as well as for aesthetic purposes [1]
The following conclusions were reached after utilizing ETABS finite element software to investigate some ring deep beam effective parameters:
Acting fractional or completely uniformly distributed load by [25, 50, 75], and 100% of the length of span rose the capacity of load by about [3, 13, 36], and 80%, respectively, in addition to reducing deflection and moments of torsion by around [4, 10, 12] and 14% and [1, 5, 8] and 9%, respectively as compared with mid span concentrated loading
Summary
In addition to their traditional utilized in curved structures, ring beams are commonly utilized in the construction of ring foundations, domes, and base tanks, as well as for aesthetic purposes [1]. Multiple supports frequently support deep, circular beams of reinforced concrete. The ACI 318M14 Code exhibits deep beams as [2]: " members of structure loaded on one face and supported on the opposite face, allowing stresses of shear to grow between the loads and supports. That achieves (a) or (b): (a) Single load are 2h far from the face of support.; and (b) The depth of member (h) is not more than four times the clear span''. Finite element analysis and design of reinforced concrete members is a handy tool [24-30]. This research provided a computational report for findings of twenty-five reinforced concrete ring deep beams to discover the effects of kind of load, the radius of the beam, depth of the beam, the width of the beam, and the NO.
