Numerical Analysis of Steel Reinforced Concrete Deep Beam with Openings Using ANSYS

Abstract:

In the modern building construction, a good deal of work has been done on openings in reinforced concrete deep beam to accommodate utility pipes and ducts of essential services. However, accommodation of such openings saves considerable amount of materials and offer more versatility. The analysis of reinforced concrete deep beam is a complex problem and there is no code provision exists for the analysis of deep beam with openings. In this paper, the behaviour of deep beam with circular opening is assessed numerically using ANSYS software. A detailed parametric study is also conducted to evaluate the effect of circular opening in deep beam with varying location of opening with fixed shear span by depth ratio and effective span by depth ratio.
