This study aims is to investigating the structural capacity of fibbers reinforced deep beams with opening under pure torsion. The deep beams were made of high strength concrete. The openings were made in the web with different shapes (circular and square), sizes and located at the mid span. Seventeen deep beam specimens were casted and they experimentally investigated throughout this study. The constants in this study are beam dimensions and compressive strength for concrete. The effects of the shape, size and locations of opening on the torsional behaviour of deep beams under torsional loading are studied in the paper. The results showed the square opening is weakest due to the concentration effect which increases the stresses and the opening size participate main role in strength of deep without steel fiber. Also, the steel fibre in which the presence of steel fiber causes increasing in the torsion strength about (30-32) of tested specimens.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
