The code gives two definitions for deep members.For flexure, members with overall depth-to-clear-span ratios
greater than 2/5 for continuous spans (Ln/d > 2/5) or 4/5 for
simple spans (Ln/d > 4/5) are defined as deep(SNI 2847-
2002 Ps.12.7.1).
For shear, a deep member is one with an effective
depth-to-clear-span ratio larger than 1/5 (Ln/d > 1/5) (SNI
2847-2002 Ps.13.8.1).

Problems need to be solved in DeepMember :
1. Lateral Buckling !!!
2. Non-Linear distribution of Strain !!!

Fortunately, most walls andbeams receive lateral support
from supported floor or roof
members, so lateral buckling of
the compression flange is rarelya problem.

Some form of lateral support isrequired at intervals not
exceeding 50 times the least
width of the compression flange
(SNI 2847-2002 12.4.1), even ifthe member is free-standing .

Lateral buckling in a verticaldirection, particularly near
concentrated loads and at supports,
can be checked by the moment
magnifier method for columns, or bynumerical or energy methods.
A simplified procedure for wall-like
beams (tilt-up panels) is provided in
Reference. If the height-to-thicknessratio of a member is limited to 25,
buckling should not be a problem.

The special shear strength provisions of 13.8 areintended to apply mainly to simply supported deep beams.
Tests of continuous deep beams have indicated that the
special shear provisions of 13.8 are inadequate for
continuous members.Therefore, the design of continuous deep flexural
members for shear strength must be based on the regular
beam design procedures of 13.1 through 13.5 with 13.8.5
substituted for 13.1.3, and must also satisfy the provisions of
13.8.4, 13.8.9 and 13.8.10. (Codes = SNI 2847-2002)

The code requires that nonlinear distribution ofstrain be taken into account in flexural design of deep
members.
The elastic analyses by Dischinger and others (Refs.
19.2-19.4) have shown that the shape of the elastic stresscurve can be quite different from the linear distribution
usually assumed.
At midspan, the neutral axis moves away from the
loaded face of the member as the span-to-depth ratio
decreases (see Fig. 19-3).Over the supports, the resultant elastic tensile forces
can be within a third of the member depth from the top fiber.

Reference 19.3, however, recommends that tensilereinforcement be distributed throughout the tensile area and
centered at or near the resultant of the tensile forces, so that,
when cracking occurs, there will not be a sudden shift in the
location of the resultant tensile force. Both methods of sizingand placing reinforcement are illustrated in Example 19.1
and it is left to the judgment of the designer to choose the
more appropriate method.

Development of horizontal tensile reinforcement insingle-span simply-supported deep members requires
special consideration. Since moments increase rapidly from
zero at the face of the support, the reinforcement may not
have sufficient anchorage length to develop the required
moment strength near the support. Tensile bars may be
anchored by development length (if available), standard
hooks, or by special anchorage devices.

The most radical departure from a linear strain andstress distribution is in compression areas at or near
supports of continuous members. Compressive forces may
be confined to the bottom 5 or 10 percent of the member
depth and compressive stresses may be as high as 14 times
those indicated by linear strain and stress distribution. 19.2
In these cases, reinforcing details require special
consideration. If service load compressive stresses approach
about 0.45 fc, it may be necessary to treat the compression
area as an axially loaded member, using laterally tiedreinforcement to carry the compressive forces as the
moment strength is approached.

The special shear strength provisions for deepflexural members apply only to members having a clear-
span-toeffective-depth ratio ( ln /d) less than 5. Section 13.8
(SNI 2847-2002) deals with deep members loaded on the top
face as shown in Fig. 19-4. Since the principal tensile forces
in deep members are primarily horizontal (vertical
cracking), horizontal shear reinforcement is effective in
resisting the tensile forces. Truss bars are, therefore, not
recommended as shear reinforcement in deep members.

Different shear design procedures are prescribed forsimply supported and continuous deep flexural members.
Design of simply supported members for shear must be
based on the special provisions of 13.8. Design of continuous
members for shear must be based on the regular beam
design procedures of 13.1 through 13.5 as well as 13.8.4,
13.8.9 and 13.8.10. Also, when loads are applied through the
sides or bottom of the member, simply supported or
continuous, the shear design provisions of 13.1 through 13.5
must be used. (SNI 2847-2002)

The factored shear force Vu must not exceed the shearstrength Vn = (Vc + Vs ), where Vc is the shear strength
provided by the concrete and Vs is the shear strength
provided by the shear reinforcement, both horizontal and
vertical. Vc may be computed from either the more complex
Eq. (13-29), which takes into account the effects of the tensile
reinforcement and Mu/Vud at the critical section, or may be
determined from the simpler Eq. (13-2) . Equation (13-29) is
illustrated in Fig. 19-5.

For design convenience, the required area of shearreinforcement Av and Avh in terms of the factored shear
force Vu can be computed using Eq. (11-30) as follows:
8/10/2019 7 Design of Deep Flexural Member
27/56
The first step in the design is to check if Vu is less thanVc , with Vc equal to 1/6 fc bwd. If the shear strength
provided by the concrete is not adequate to carry the
factored shear force Vu, calculate Vs for minimum shear
reinforcement and add to Vc . Using the minimum shear
reinforcement requirements of 13.8.9 (Av = 0.0015bws) and
13.8.10 (Avh = 0.0025bws2), shear strength Eq. (11-30)
reduces to :
8/10/2019 7 Design of Deep Flexural Member
28/56
Substituting Vc from Eq. (13-28) and Vs from above,the shear strength with minimum shear reinforcement
becomes :
If shear strength with minimum shear reinforcement is
still not adequate, the more complex Eq. (13-29) can be used
to calculate a higher concrete shear strength, or additional
shear reinforcement Av and Avh may be added to increasethe shear strength of the section. Shear reinforcement
required at the critical section must be provided throughout
the span in all cases (13.8.11).

A strict reading of 13.8.8 would appear to suggest thatno shear reinforcement is needed in a simply supported
deep beam unless Vu exceeds Vc , which may be as high
as 1/2 fc bwd. However, a deep beam without shear
reinforcement is not recommended. It would be more
appropriate to conform with 13.8.9 and 13.8.10 for the
design of simply supported deep beams. (SNI 2847-2002)

Sections 14.11.4 and 14.12.4 were added to the 95Code concerning reinforcement detailing of deep flexural
members. The sections require that at interior supports of
deep flexural members, positive moment tension
reinforcement and negative moment tension reinforcement
shall be continuous with that of adjacent spans in order to
develop proper anchorage. (Codes = SNI 2847-2002)

For shear design of continuous deep members, thedesign procedure is the same as for ordinary beams. The
maximum factored shear force Vu is calculated at the critical
section defined in 13.8.5. The factored shear force Vu must
not exceed the shear strength provided by the section (Vc
+ Vs), where Vc may be computed from either the more
complex Eq. (13-5), or the simpler Eq. (13-3), Vc = 2 fcbwd.

Section 13.8.3 also specifies that the design ofcontinuous deep flexural members must also satisfy 11.8.4,
13.8.9 and 13.8.10. Section 13.8.4 sets an upper limit to Vn.
Sections 13.8.9 and 13.8.10 specify minimum vertical and
horizontal shear reinforcement, respectively. (SNI 2847-2002)

If the shear strength with minimum shearreinforcement is still not adequate, the more complex Eq.
(13-5) can be used to calculate a higher concrete shear
strength, or additional shear reinforcement Av may be
added to increase the shear strength of the section. Using
Eq. (13-15), the required shear reinforcement is :
8/10/2019 7 Design of Deep Flexural Member

The first step in the design is to check if Vu is less thanfVc, with Vc equal to 2 fc bwd. If the shear strength
provided by the concrete is not adequate to carry the
factored shear force Vu, calculate Vs for minimum shear
reinforcement and add to Vc. Using the minimum shear
reinforcement of 13.8.9 (Av = 0.0015bws), the shear strength
Eq. (13-15) reduces to :

Note that the minimum shear reinforcement of 13.8.9is greater than that required by Eq. (13-13). The shear

Shear reinforcement may be varied along the lengthof span as for ordinary beams; however, a minimum area of
both vertical and horizontal reinforcement, Av andAvh, in
accordance with 13.8.9 and 13.8.10 must be provided
throughout the full span length. Note that the spacing s of the
vertical shear reinforcement Av must not exceed d/5 nor 18
in. (somewhat closer maximum spacing than that permitted
for ordinary beams). Note also that the horizontal shear
reinforcement Avh does not contribute to the shear strength
Vs for continuous deep members.
