Experimental Study on Shear Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Sandwich Deep Beam

Abstract

In present making of construction industry at a high pace. The tendency of world influenced the high raised buildings. In modern days one of the most common element is deep beam, constructed a small span to depth ratio. The transfer girders most of used in deep beams. In an experimental program consists of 12 deep beam specimens are carried out for shear strength behavior investigation of Reinforced Concrete sandwich deep beam concealed with insulation pad in various depths 200mm and 300mm and 400mm. in the experimental program effective length, depth, the width of the specimens, width of bearing plates, longitudinal reinforcement as 1% to maintain constantly and horizontal reinforcement as varies as 0.15% and 0.25% and 0.35%. We are considered shear span to depth ratio of deep beam is 0.95. The main aim of the experimental study the influence of longitudinal shear reinforcement along with vertical and horizontal shear reinforcement on the shear strength, shear ductility of RC sandwich deep beams of insulation pads placed at different depths.
