Regarding the use of Finite Element Method (FEM), Eurocode allows its application for complex cases such as deep beams, as long as the analysis is justified and properly validated.
In terms of shear capacity, according to ACI 318, the maximum shear strength is 2300 kN. Since the maximum applied...
Dear Colleagues,
Thank you so much for your responses.
I have investigated the deep beam capacity using Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional 2025 as follows:
I used the Finite Element Method (FEM) with a mesh size of 0.50 m. The element type was set to Tension/Compression only...
Dear Colleagues,
I want to increase the deep beam capacity due to the high shear generated by the concentrated beam located at the mid-span of the deep beam (please refer to the attached picture).
It is worth noting that the deep beam dimensions are 4000 mm wide and 2150 mm high (including a...
Dear friends,
Have anyone a refence or spread sheet how to design post pocket foundation according to EC or BS8110 as appear in the attached capture?
Any help will be highly appreciated
