Summary:Shear failure is a crucial criterion in reinforced concrete (RC) deep beams. The paper studies the behavior of five deep beams reinforced with varied shapes of reinforcement and CFRP sheets. Two samples were analyzed using the conventional type shear reinforcement; the third sample had truss-shaped shear reinforcement, combos of strut and tie; the fourth had a Rolled I section to better understand how deep beams behave compositely; and the fifth was conventional type beam wrapped with 1.8 mm thickness CFRP sheet, tested for shear. Several variables were investigated using Abaqus software, including S-Tresca stress, percentage of shear reinforcement, load versus deflection, shear stress and equivalent plastic strain.
