A Finite Element Parametric Study of Reinforced Concrete Horizontally Circular Deep Beams

A parametric study of twenty-five reinforced concrete ring deep beams using finite element analysis is presented in this study. This paper took into account the kind loading (partial and complete), diameter, depth, width beam, as well NO. supports. When compared to equivalent concentrated central loading, acting a partial distributed 25-100 percent length span increased capacity load by about 3-80 while decreasing max. deflection moments torsion 4-14 1-9 percent, respectively. Decreases 10-33 were observed when beam diameter was 20-80%, 30-145 8-23 depth 12-50 15-61 reduced 8-21 percent. circular 40-160 load, deflection, 142-690 26-62 137-662 Finally, supports 25-150 70-380 decreased 27-71 16-72
