Abstract

The use of reinforced concrete (RC) deep beams has expanded dramatically over the past few decades. Then, improving the performance while maintaining the cost as low as possible cost has become a critical concern. In the current work, a layered model based on using high performance concrete (HPC) at the top half of the section only has been considered. Six specimens were tested experimentally under static load up to failure. It is aimed to determine the range of improvement in the general performance due to use of steel fiber concrete (SFC) or reactive power concrete (RPC) at the top half of the deep beams. Moreover, the effect of loading configuration (one-point or two points) which considered implicitly the effect of the shear span-to- depth ratio (a/h) was considered. The response was studied in terms of several indicators including the load-deflection curve, the failure load the crack width, the mode of failure, map of cracking, toughness, and ductility. Results showed that for one-point load, the failure loads for the hybrid specimens with SFC and RPC at top layers of the section was enhanced by 22% and 28% relative to the non-hybrid model. While enhancements of 27% and 34% were recorded under two point loads. Moreover, it was found that reducing a/d ration from 1.67 to 1.22 resulted in enhancements of 32%, 37% and 39% for the non-hybrid and hybrid sections respectively. Regarding toughness, enhancements of 28% and 144%, were obtained for the specimens hybrid with SFC under one-point and two-point loading systems respectively. When RPC was used, the corresponding improvements were 44% and 188%, respectively.

Highlights

  • Self-compactive deep beams are tested experimentally under monotonic static loads.
  • The behavior of the deep beams partially composed with SFC and RPC was studied.
  • Effects of type of loading system and, shear span/depth on the general behavior are studied.
  • Results revealed that partially composed deep beams with SFC may be used instead of the costly RPC composite section.
