Numerical Study on Nonlinear Behavior of RC Continuous Deep Beams

Abstract

The aim of the study is to demonstrate the extent of the effect that occurs to continuous reinforced deep beams when performing a parametric study in terms of support settlement and different support conditions for dual span continuous deep beams (CDBs), in terms of failure load and failure mode, using the ANSYS 2020 nonlinear finite element program. As the parametric study relied on the laboratory study conducted by Yang et al. [8]. Six samples were taken from continuous reinforced concrete beams with two spans with the extension of the shear to the depth ratios (0.5, 1). This was done to ensure that the form was handled appropriately. The pre-owned model to research the behavior of deep RC girders under static support conditions with different beam heights. Whereas, it was observed that there is a marked variation in the value of the failure load under the influence of different support conditions and the support settlement that occurs in them. This inspection is characterized by real, conceivable results of support conditions and support settlement in presenting two span continuous reinforced concrete deep beams.
