Efficiency Factors for Reinforced Concrete Deep Beams: Part 2 - Code Calibration

Abstract:

This paper presents the limit state shear design formulas for both normal and high-strength reinforced concrete deep beams using strut-and-tie model (STM). The proposed equations are based on the STMs with six state-of-the-art efficiency factors. These STMs were improved by correcting the bias and quantifying the scatter using a Bayesian parameter estimation method. The statistical parameters of material properties, dimensions, and the accuracy of design equations are considered to develop the resistance models obtained by Monte Carlo simulations. The reliability analysis is performed to determine the strength reduction factors. The calculated values of strength reduction factors are proposed for each of the considered efficiency factors.
