Band clamps with a flat bottomed V-section are used to connect a pair of circular flanges to provide a joint with significant axial strength. Despite the wide application of V-band clamps, their behaviour is not fully understood and the ultimate axial strength is currently only available from physical testing. This physical testing has indicated that the ultimate strength is determined by two d...

It is observed that, reinforced concrete beams failed due to flexure but in case of deep beam failure occur due to shear. Deep beams may be defined as the beam where shear span to depth ratio less than 2. A number of researchers already proposed various approach to predict the ultimate strength of deep beams. In this study a newer approach is developed to calculate the ultimate shear strength o...
