Analysis and Design of R.C. Deep Beams Using Code Provisions of Different Countries and Their Comparison

This paper describes analysis and design of deep beams subjected to two equal point loads acting 1/3/rd of span with different L/D ratios and codes referred were INDIAN.STANDERD CODE (I.S.-456-2000), NEWZEALAND (NDS-3101-2006),CANADIAN(CSA-A23.3-2004.),CIRIA GUIDE-2(1977) and APPENDIX-A of ACI -318 {STRUT and TIE METHOD) for design purpose. The parameters obsevered were Lever Arm, Theoretical steel required and strength of deep beam.
